Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has convened an emergency meeting with key PDP stakeholders from Jigawa and Kano, raising alarms about the escalating internal crisis affecting the opposition party nationwide.
The meeting, held privately at Lamido’s office in Kano, took place shortly after the Forum of Former PDP Local Government Chairmen in Jigawa urged him to consider departing from the party if the current situation continues.
The Forum expressed that the PDP is being engulfed by what it termed a “deepening internal crisis,” attributing this to failures within the party’s national leadership.
“We are concerned about the direction in which the PDP is moving,” the Forum noted. “The national leadership has not only marginalized Sule Lamido but has also prevented him from running for the position of National Chairman. This type of leadership approach is tearing the party apart.”
Members of the Forum contended that longstanding divisions, mistrust, and unresolved conflicts have undermined the PDP’s structure across the country, posing a significant threat to its prospects in upcoming elections.
Their caution comes at a time when tensions within the PDP are already heightened, following contentious congresses and a heated clash last week between Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
As disputes continue to escalate from Jigawa to the national level, many party members believe that the leadership must act swiftly.
“The party requires immediate intervention,” a PDP insider stated. “If action is not taken soon, we may witness a major shift that could redefine the PDP.”
For many observers, the results of Lamido’s emergency meeting could shape the next phase of the party’s political trajectory, both in Jigawa and throughout Nigeria.
