Sule Lamido says he’s staying loyal to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but he’s ready to support Peter Obi if a coalition picks him to take on the APC, NaijNaira can report.
He made this known during a press interaction, answering questions about whether he would support Obi’s 2027 presidential bid—especially if Obi sticks to his one-term pledge.
In a report by Daily Post Nigeria, Lamido said he’s open to supporting Obi or any candidate who has the courage and plan to rescue Nigeria.
“If the coalition produces Peter Obi or anyone else committed to rescuing Nigeria, I will support them. But I remain PDP,” Lamido said.
He urged Nigerians to move beyond tribal and regional politics, arguing that leadership should be defined by vision, not geography.
“What has the North gained from producing the most presidents if the region remains underdeveloped?” he asked.
Lamido also criticized the current zoning system, calling it a temporary fix that has overstayed its purpose.
According to him, the idea of North-South rotation was created within PDP as a healing mechanism after the annulment of the June 12 election.
“It was meant to be a healing mechanism, a temporary measure to restore trust. But now, it has become an albatross,” he said.
He believes the focus should now be on competence, unity, and defeating the APC in the next election.
