A former governor of Jigawa state, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has admitted that the effort to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections is challenging and difficult.
Lamido, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ex-minister of Foreign Affairs, said with President Tinubuâs firm grip on power among other factors, the chances of the main opposition party to wrest power from the incumbent are very slim.
The former governor described President Tinubu as a very daring, self-made man, who owes his emergence to nobody in Nigeria. He said Tinubu âwas adept at studying the system, manipulating it. He exploited it and he did it wellâ.
Lamido made this disclosure in an interview with The Nigerian Tribune that was published on Saturday, August 31.
He told the Nigerian Tribune that the PDP is making the effort to win the 2027 elections, despite the challenges facing the party:
Lamido said:
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that a group confirmed that the former Vice President of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar will be contesting for the nation’s hottest seat in 2027.
The Nigerian Youths for Atiku (NYFA) also disclosed the identity of who can stop Atiku from contesting for the presidency in the next general election.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that Atiku contested in 2023, and came second, after a major defeat by Bola Tinubu who came first and was elected as Nigeria’s 16th president.
