<p>The former Governor of Jigawa State and one of the founding fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Sule Lamido, has cautioned that unless the party resolves its internal crisis, it risks forming alliances and coalitions that could reshape Nigeria’s political landscape.</p><div class="ub1eV4dH" 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>Lamido made the statement while receiving Jigawa PDP stakeholders and party leaders at his Kano office, stressing the urgent need for unity and reconciliation.</p>
<p>Lamido recalled that he had earlier given party members an ultimatum to wait until December 9 to determine the fate of the current acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum.</p>
<p>He disclosed that after consultations with former President Olusegun Obasanjo and ex-Senate President Bukola Saraki, several strategies were devised to engage PDP governors and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory in reconciliation talks, which were hosted at Saraki’s residence.</p>

<p>“We have consulted all of them and asked for cooperation. We are going to sit again. Don’t worry, you are going to vote. There is no party still like the PDP. We should not allow our personal ego to destroy it,” Lamido emphasized. He warned that if reconciliation fails, alliances and coalitions would become inevitable, adding that “if you want to make a name in Nigeria, you should join the PDP.”</p>

<p>Lamido lamented the party’s dwindling influence in Kano State, where it managed only 15,000 votes in the last general elections.</p>
<p>He also criticized the defection of the PDP’s former vice-presidential candidate to the All Progressives Congress. “The rivalry within PDP is only benefitting the APC,” Lamido said, accusing the southwest of rallying behind the APC due to tribal sentiments.</p>
<p>On his part, Alhaji Babandi Gumel, PDP Chairman in Jigawa State, explained that the gathering was part of ongoing reconciliation efforts. He noted that similar meetings had been held in Dutse, following a paper presented by former local government chairmen during Lamido’s tenure as governor. Gumel added that the November 27 meeting in Kano was a continuation of those efforts, aimed at resolving leadership disputes.</p>
<p>“Our leader, Sule Lamido, asked us to wait a little to ensure the national leadership is sorted out. Up till now, there is no substantive chairman. The faction of Turaki is still claiming leadership, while other factions are also laying claims. Even on INEC’s website, it is still Damagum’s name that appears,” Gumel stated.</p>
