Lamido Says No Right-Thinking Northerner Will Support Tinubu In 2027

Former Jigawa State Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain Sule Lamido has declared that no right-thinking Northerner would back President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking at a PDP expanded caucus meeting in Dutse, Jigawa State, Lamido accused successive APC administrations of subjecting Nigerians to “hardship, deceit, and betrayal,” citing poverty, insecurity, and widespread suffering as evidence of failed leadership.

“We have been telling people Tinubu does not like the North, he doesn’t like anything that will help in developing the North. During his tenure as Governor of Lagos, Northerners were maltreated, attacked, and killed,” Lamido said.

“In 2023, both the ACF, Ohanaeze, Afenifere, and other meaningful associations didn’t support Tinubu. He used money to influence his support and win the election. We warned people not to entrust him. They refused to listen and are now paying the consequences of their actions. It’s quite unfortunate for any Northerner to support Tinubu’s reelection bid despite the position he is holding, minister, governor, House of Representatives, among others. I don’t think a right-thinking person from the North will support Tinubu’s reelection bid again in the coming 2027 election.”

Lamido urged Nigerians to unite beyond political, religious, and regional divides to rescue the country, expressing optimism that the PDP would overcome its internal challenges and “do anything possible to save the country.”
