Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and ex-governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has declared that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is on the verge of a major crisis.
According to him, key figures in the party, including the National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, may soon defect to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Lamido made the statement while delivering a keynote address during the PDP congress held at Aminu Kano Triangle in Jigawa State on Sunday.
The outspoken PDP chieftain expressed confidence in the party’s resurgence, noting that the APC’s internal contradictions would soon lead to its implosion.
“I’m confident that all those who left the PDP will return, including Ganduje, because very soon, the APC will burst and split into factions, having accommodated people with different mindsets,” Lamido said.
He added that the ruling party’s growing instability would work in favour of the PDP, stating: “I said it, and I repeat: within six months, all those who defected to the APC will come back, and the PDP will rise with full force to wrest power in 2027.”
Lamido encouraged PDP members to remain steadfast despite recent defections, attributing the trend to intimidation and political pressure.
He also criticised the APC for its approach to governance and leadership, blaming the party for Nigeria’s persistent challenges.
The newly elected PDP chairman in Jigawa, Hon. Ibrahim Babandi Gumel, echoed Lamido’s call for unity, urging members to prioritise collaboration in preparation for the 2027 elections.
The event underscored a growing sentiment within the PDP that the opposition could reclaim power amid dissatisfaction with the current government.
