Former Jigawa State governor and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sule Lamido, has revealed that some individuals within the Peoples Democratic Party are secretly working for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress.
In an interview with The Tribune, Lamido, a founding father of the PDP, discussed the party’s internal crisis and its plans to win the next general election. He expressed concern that “moles” within the party are undermining its efforts.
Lamido stated, “It is a huge challenge… People have been hired to destroy the PDP, but we are making every effort because right now, we have people who are anti-PDP… Imagine people like Ortom saying, ‘our leader, Wike, has said we will vote Tinubu in 2027’… People who are in the PDP are also working for the APC and Tinubu.”
On the possibility of the PDP returning to power, Lamido said, “If you have those in government who share the same frequency with us, we can confidently say yes, but it depends on who you can identify… It is going to be difficult with Tinubu, with his hold on the country, on the economy, and his audacity to say this is where I stand against Nigeria’s interest.”
Lamido praised Tinubu’s determination and ability to overcome obstacles, saying, “Tinubu is very daring; he is his own creation, he is a self-made man… He demolished every established political arrangement and institution. Now that he is in charge, he is not going to be easy to deal with. With Tinubu, Nigeria is a fiefdom, and Tinubu is the emperor. And if you watch him closely, he doesn’t care.”
