Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, wants an end to the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is calling for unity among members ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Lamido, who spoke at the PDP National Convention in Abuja on Sunday, called on aggrieved party members to return to the umbrella fold.
“Those who are under 30 now may not be able to fully appreciate and understand the sacrifices of our founding fathers.
“I am here today as a bridge between the old order and the new order to give you hope, to inspire you, and to motivate you. Don’t give up, stand for Nigeria.
“We are today where we were in 1998 when we introduced tribal politics and ethnicity, and there is no way a country can grow if we are not united, as Nigeria is our benchmark in terms of political leadership.
“I will urge those who are angry to please consider your position. PDP is Nigeria’s family; it is not about any individual or ego. Please come back to your party, PDP, which dignified you and made you what you are,” he stated.
According to Lamido, PDP has planted its roots in every village across Nigeria.
He claimed that several members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), All Progressives Congress (APC), among others, were once PDP members.
