Monday, June 23, 2025 - Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has vowed that he was willing to join any arrangement to remove President Bola Tinubu from office in 2027.
Lamido spoke in an interview on Arise TV as the country’s
political arena gets hotter against the forthcoming 2027 general elections.
It will be recalled that a coalition of opposition leaders
on Friday formed the All Democratic Alliance, ADA, a political party with
the view to locking horns with the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in
the next presidential election.
The newly formed coalition party is spearheaded by former
Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and the immediate past governor of Kaduna State
Nasir el-Rufai.
According to Lamido, who is a member of the opposition
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, he is open to joining any entity no matter its
nomenclature if it will get the APC out of power.
He accused the Tinubu’s administration of dividing Nigeria
along ethnic lines and using the institution of the state in manipulating,
coercing and controlling the opposition.
The ex-governor also alleged that the entire government is
not for Nigerians but for the political party.
“I am part of any arrangement, no matter its nomenclature,
to remove this government of incompetence, insecurity, that is dividing Nigeria
firmly between north and south, out of power. I will go into any arrangement
for that purpose.
“I will be part of any arrangement, configuration if it is
going to remove this government from power,” the former Jigawa governor said.
