Former Governor, Sule Lamido, has suggested that the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje will soon defect back to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Lamido said Ganduje may return to the PDP because the APC would soon split into factions.
He disclosed this while speaking at the PDP congress held at Aminu Kano Triangle in Jigawa.
There has been defections from the PDP to the APC, with former Delta State governor and ex-presidential running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa leading the pack.
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State also defected with all lawmakers from the state following.
However, Lamido charged PDP members not to be discouraged by the defection of some elected officials under the PDP, attributing their actions to fear of intimidation and harassment.
He said, “I’m confident that all those who left the PDP will return, including Ganduje, because very soon, the APC will burst and split into factions, having accommodated people with different mindsets.
“I said it, and I repeat: within six months, all those who defected to the APC will come back, and the PDP will rise with full force to wrest power in 2027.”;;
Lamido’s remarks also touched on broader issues of governance and leadership in Nigeria, which he believes are being undermined by the APC.
“Nigeria is blessed, but the leaders are always the problem,”;; he said.
He, therefore, warned the government in power to stop intimidating the opposition, stating that such actions could lead to further instability.
