Sule Lamido Questions Nigeria's Political Direction Ahead of 2027

Sule Lamido, a former governor and member of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), lamented the confusing political direction in Nigeria as the country approaches the 2027 elections. He highlighted the fragmentation of his former political associates, who have spread across different parties, including the All Progressives Congress (APC), the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Lamido pointed out that despite their varying affiliations, many of these individuals were once part of the PDP, which he credited with restoring democracy in Nigeria since 1999. He expressed concern over the current political chemistry and the need for collaboration among political entities to rebuild trust and stabilize the country.

Lamido's remarks reflect a broader sentiment regarding the complexities of Nigeria's political landscape, particularly in light of the upcoming elections and the historical context of political crises following the annulment of the June 12 elections.
