<p>Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Jigawa State have condemned what they described as the “manhandling” and unfair treatment of former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, by the party’s national leadership.</p><div class="e19reoSS" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The condemnation came during a meeting of the Forum of Former PDP Local Government Council Chairmen in Jigawa State. The forum, led by Jigawa PDP Chairman Babandi Abubakar Gumel, visited Lamido at his Kano office to present their resolutions.</p>
<p>According to the forum, the PDP leadership failed to protect Lamido’s rights and honor by denying him the opportunity to contest for the national chairmanship of the party. They described recent developments, including the controversial Ibadan Convention and the incident at Wadata Plaza, as “shameful and disgraceful,” accusing the party of deepening internal divisions.</p>
<p>Stakeholders’ Resolutions<br />
In a communique issued after the meeting, the forum resolved as follows:</p>

<p>&#8211; They condemned the manner in which Lamido was treated, insisting he was denied his legitimate right to contest.<br />
&#8211; They declared that the PDP is no longer a formidable platform at the national level due to persistent factions, rancor, and mistrust among members.<br />
&#8211; They mandated Lamido to, in his wisdom, seek a viable political platform that would allow them to pursue their vision for Jigawa State and Nigeria.<br />
&#8211; They reaffirmed their loyalty to Lamido, pledging to follow him wherever he goes politically.</p>

<p>The forum also highlighted Lamido’s long-standing political credentials, recalling his leadership roles from the PRP Youth Wing in the 1970s, his election into the House of Representatives in 1979, his tenure as Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in old Kano, and later as National Secretary of the SDP during the historic 1993 Abiola election victory.</p>
<p>They noted that Lamido remains the only surviving member of the G9 and G18 political blocs who has never abandoned the PDP, despite the challenges posed by the late Muhammadu Buhari’s entry into partisan politics and the political realignments that followed in the North.</p>
<p>In his remarks, former Governor Sule Lamido expressed appreciation for the solidarity shown by the Jigawa PDP stakeholders. He reiterated his commitment to protecting the PDP’s legacy of resilience, while also defending his right to seek justice.</p>
<p>“I went to court not to insist on contesting but to show my right,” Lamido explained. He further noted that Damagum remains the PDP’s acting National Chairman until early December, when his tenure is expected to expire.</p>
<p>“Let us wait and see the expiration of Iliya Damagum’s tenure. PDP has a history of resilience, and I am out to protect that. I remain a staunch supporter of the PRP tradition and will continue to protect the interest of the party,” Lamido stated.</p>
