A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has reaffirmed his commitment to the party, insisting he will not leave despite its internal difficulties.
Lamido made this known on Saturday during a PDP stakeholders’ meeting in Dutse, Jigawa State, where party leaders convened to discuss the party’s future amid internal disagreements and increasing defections.
He criticised prominent politicians who have defected and aligned with smaller parties.
“PDP is my political home. It may have problems, but it remains my home. I will not abandon it for another party,” he stated.
The former governor cautioned that abandoning the party due to its challenges is not the answer, comparing it to deserting one’s family in times of difficulty.
“Leaving your home because it has challenges is not the solution,” he added.
Lamido further alleged that some politicians are now attempting to dominate or “take over” smaller political platforms, particularly the African Democratic Congress (ADC), from their original founders.
“They left their big home and now want to take over smaller parties built by others,” he said, warning that such actions could undermine political integrity and party development.
Lamido emphasised that PDP’s problems should be resolved through internal reforms and collective responsibility rather than defections.
He urged party members to stay committed and work together to rebuild and strengthen the party from within.
He said unity and dedication would help the party regain its strength and credibility ahead of future elections.
He also urged party loyalists to revalidate their party registration online and ensure voter registration ahead of the 2027 general election.
