Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has expressed confidence in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing it as a political party that has endured since Nigeria returned to democratic rule in 1999.

Lamido made the remarks during the inauguration of the PDP Campaign Council at the party’s state headquarters in Dutse, Jigawa State, where he also criticised the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government and urged Nigerians to assess the performance of previous administrations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Lamido Says PDP Has Endured Since 1999

Lamido, a founding member of the PDP, argued that the party had remained standing despite political changes and the collapse of other parties over the years.

Speaking at the campaign council inauguration, he expressed confidence that the PDP would continue to play a role in Nigeria’s political future.

“Since 1999, almost all political parties have collapsed, leaving the PDP as the only surviving party to date.

It has seen yesterday, today and, by the grace of God, it will see tomorrow,” Lamido said.

His remarks presented the PDP as a party with a long political history and a future role to play. However, the assertion that it is the only surviving party since 1999 remains Lamido’s political claim in the supplied report.

Lamido Urges Nigerians to Compare PDP and APC Administrations

The former governor also called on Nigerians to evaluate the performance of previous PDP administrations against that of the current APC-led government before deciding whom to support in the 2027 elections.

He argued that voters should consider the achievements of past administrations rather than repeat what he described as the mistake of voting for the APC in previous elections.

“I believe Nigerians have learnt from their mistakes. Therefore, they must critically examine the achievements of previous administrations under the PDP and compare them with those of the current administration before deciding who should lead them,” he said.

Lamido’s appeal focused on governance and the need for voters to assess the records of political parties before making their choices at the polls.

Former Jigawa Governor Criticises Healthcare and Education

Lamido accused the APC-led government of failing to meet Nigerians’ expectations. He argued that Nigeria and Jigawa State needed experienced and capable leaders to address the challenges facing the country and the state.

He also raised concerns about healthcare and education in Jigawa, alleging that both sectors had suffered under the current administration.

“Today, Jigawa is facing serious challenges in accessing quality healthcare. Hospitals lack adequate medical services and essential drugs, while the education sector continues to deteriorate,” he said.

The comments reflect Lamido’s assessment of the state’s public services. The supplied report does not include independent data or a response from the state government to substantiate or address the allegations.

PDP Promises Peaceful Campaigns Ahead of 2027 Elections

Lamido assured PDP supporters that the party was prepared to campaign for its candidates at all levels in the 2027 general elections.

According to his remarks, the party intended to contest positions ranging from the presidency to seats in the National Assembly and state assemblies.

He also promised that the PDP’s campaigns would be peaceful, without insults, intimidation or personal attacks against political opponents.

Lamido said the party’s central objective was to restore good governance and rebuild public confidence in political leadership.
