Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has endorsed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the 2027 general elections, distancing himself from Nyesom Wike's proposed Rainbow Coalition to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election. During an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today, Lamido emphasized his unwavering support for the PDP and declared Professor Sandy Onor as his preferred candidate for the party.
He dismissed suggestions that he had endorsed Tinubu or agreed to collaborate with Wike's political arrangement, stating that he had not been consulted about the proposed alliance. Lamido also dismissed claims that Wike had contributed more to the PDP than he had, highlighting his own legal challenge to the party’s internal convention as the more significant act.
The ex-governor’s comments follow recent divisions within the PDP over Wike’s political activities and support for Tinubu's re-election.
