Nigeria: 2027 - Sule Lamido Has Not Endorsed Tinubu, Jigawa PDP Replies Shettima
The party said Lamido has never endorsed Tinubu and urged Shettima and the APC to stop speaking for him.
- The Peoples Democratic Party in Jigawa State dismissed claims by Vice President Kashim Shettima that Governor Sule Lamido endorsed President Bola Tinubu for 2027, insisting the former governor has not made any such declaration.
- Shettima had claimed at an All Progressives Congress rally in Dutse that Jigawa's former governors, including Lamido, were united in support of the ruling party ahead of 2027.
- Lamido rejected the claim as a "lie" on social media, while Jigawa State Chairman Babandi Gumel cited the former governor's refusal to defect during the 2013/2015 "G7 Governors" crisis.
- Gumel stated that Lamido, an "iconic leader," does not require proxy spokespersons, emphasizing that when the former governor supports a cause, he champions it publicly without fear.
- The PDP reiterated that its party structure in Jigawa State remains formidable and advised the APC federal administration to concentrate on pressing national governance challenges rather than pursuing "phantom alliances.
