Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has urged Nigerians not to repeat what he described as the mistake of voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC), calling on voters to compare the party’s record with that of previous Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administrations before the 2027 elections.

Lamido, a founding member of the PDP, spoke at the inauguration of the party’s Campaign Council at its state headquarters in Dutse, Jigawa State.

He urged Nigerians to examine the achievements of past PDP governments and compare them with the performance of the current administration before deciding who should lead the country.

“I believe Nigerians have learnt from their mistakes,” Lamido said, calling for a critical assessment of the records of successive administrations.

The former governor accused the APC-led government of failing to meet public expectations, arguing that Nigeria and Jigawa State needed experienced and competent leaders to tackle their challenges.

He also alleged that healthcare and education had suffered under the current administration, pointing to shortages of medical services and essential drugs in hospitals, alongside what he described as a deteriorating education sector in Jigawa.

Lamido defended the PDP’s political legacy, arguing that the party had endured since the return to democratic rule in 1999 while other political parties had declined or collapsed.

“Since 1999, almost all political parties have collapsed, leaving the PDP as the only surviving party to date,” he said.

He assured party members that the PDP would campaign for its candidates in the 2027 elections at every level, from the presidency to the National Assembly and state legislatures.

Lamido also promised peaceful campaigns without insults, intimidation or personal attacks, saying the party intended to restore good governance and public confidence in leadership.
