Breaking: Jigawa PDP Condemns Maltreatment of Sule Lamido

COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF FORMER JIGAWA STATE PDP LG COUNCIL CHAIRMEN FORUM MEETING

The forum of former PDP local government council chairmen in Jigawa State held a meeting on November 18, 2025 and discussed the unfortunate situation that be fell our party and the apparent inability of it’s readership to contain and resolve it up to the build up of the illegal Ibadan Convention to the shameful and disgraceful incident that occurred at the Wadata Plaza this week On that note, the forum is resolved as follows:

1:We condemned the manner in which the leadership of the party has handled our leader, HE Sule Lamido, without regard to his honor by denying him his right to contest the national chairmanship of the party.

2. The PDP as a party is no longer a formidable platform at the national level as a result of prevailing factions and consistent rancor and mistrust among its members. As loyal political children of HE, Sule Lamido, do hereby mandate him in his wisdom to find a viable political platform that will permit us to pursue our dreams of a greater Jigawa and Nigeria

3. We believe and trust in his political leadership, judgment and democratic credentials right from his days in PRP as the National Leader of the PRP Youth Wing to his election into the House of Representatives in 1979, to his Chairmanship of the SDP in the old Kano and later, its National Secretary which conclusively won the Abiola election in 19921

4.It is also worth noting that he is the only surviving member of G9 and G18 who has never abandoned the PDP despite the late Buhad phenomenal entry into partisan politics and the intense heat wave it unleashed in the North!

5. We request that, as a matter of urgency, the leadership of the Jigawa PDP to lead us to HE Sule Lamido, our leader, to present our position.

6. We remain loyal to the leadership of HE Sule Lamido, any where he goes, we will follow.
