2027: ‘Whoever Wins, Nigeria Loses’ – Sule Lamido Raises Alarm over Propaganda in North
Lamido said the opposition split and personal ambition are weakening Nigeria’s politics and giving President Bola Tinubu an easier path, while propaganda grows in the north.
On Friday, former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido criticized opposition leaders Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, arguing their failure to unite ahead of the 2027 presidential election gives President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress a significant advantage.
Lamido expressed concern regarding rising propaganda and political incitement in northern Nigeria, warning that campaign rhetoric has devolved into personal attacks rather than policy debates or national development efforts.
"Both Peter Obi, Atiku and Tinubu are simply obsessed with power," Lamido said, adding that current political rivalries are damaging national unity, the economy, and the spirit of coexistence among Nigerians.
"Whoever wins Nigeria loses," Lamido claimed, warning that the focus on personal ambition over national interest is detrimental to the country's future, regardless of which candidate emerges victorious.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has scheduled the presidential election for January 16, 2027, as Nigeria's National Register of Voters has risen to 103,428,715 following the latest Continuous Voter Registration exercise.
