Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has announced his support for the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate in the 2027 general elections, rejecting Nyesom Wike's proposed Rainbow Coalition. Lamido, who is doing more for PDP than Wike, stated during an interview that he remains committed to the party and will vote for its candidates at all levels, including the presidency.
He dismissed claims that he had endorsed Tinubu or agreed to collaborate with Wike ahead of the elections, emphasizing that he had not been consulted about the proposed alliance. The former governor highlighted that his legal challenge to the party's convention, which led to its annulment, was more significant than Wike's financial contributions.
