As the push toward 2027 intensifies, former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has made an impassioned plea for political unity, urging former members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to return and aid in the reconstruction of Nigeria.During a Ramadan Iftar event at his residence in Bamaina, Birnin Kudu Local Government, Lamido emphasized the importance of introspection and reconciliation amid Nigeria’s ongoing economic and security challenges.

He argued that the democratic stability once offered by the PDP has been absent under the current ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This month is a sacred time for worship, prayer, and supplication,” he remarked. “We gather not only to break our fast but also to renew our friendships and fortify our political family.”In his address, the former governor lamented the nation’s dire situation, highlighting the escalating issues of poverty, insecurity, and ineffective leadership.
He expressed disappointment in those who left the PDP for the APC in 2014, only to become disillusioned with the results.
The PDP has been essential to Nigeria’s stability since 1999. Even APC leaders, like Tinubu and Buhari, have benefited from the frameworks and governance we established.
Those who sought better opportunities must now reflect: Are we truly better off today than during the PDP era?”He dismissed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as an emotional reaction rather than a credible alternative, asserting that its origins as a government-formed entity under General Babangida left it without a solid grassroots foundation.
The SDP lacks the capacity to challenge either the PDP or the APC,” he stated.Calling for unity, he encouraged former PDP members currently in the APC to let go of any guilt and reconnect with their political heritage.
There is no dishonor in coming back home. Politics should not be fueled by emotions or vendettas. If we genuinely wish to remedy Nigeria’s problems, we must come together and rebuild.
As the country heads into another pivotal election season, his remarks resonate as a call for realignment within the PDP. Whether his appeal will garner a response remains to be seen, but it is clear—Nigeria’s political landscape stands at a significant juncture.
