A founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has declared that he will not abandon the party despite its current challenges and wave of defections.
Lamido made the firm declaration on Saturday during a PDP stakeholders’ meeting held in Dutse, Jigawa State, where party leaders gathered to discuss the future of the opposition party amid internal crises.
“PDP is my political home. It may have problems, but it remains my home. I will not abandon it for another party,” Lamido stated emphatically.
He likened leaving the PDP to deserting one’s family during difficult times, arguing that abandoning the party is not the solution to its problems.
“Leaving your home because it has challenges is not the solution,” he added.Lamido criticised politicians who have defected from the PDP and are now trying to take control of smaller parties, particularly the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“They left their big home and now want to take over smaller parties built by others,” he said, warning that such moves undermine political integrity.
The former governor urged PDP members to remain united, work towards internal reforms, and strengthen the party from within rather than defecting.
He also called on loyalists to revalidate their membership online and prepare for voter registration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Lamido’s statement comes as the PDP continues to face significant internal disagreements and high-profile exits in recent times.
