Former Jigawa State Governor and prominent Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) figure, Sule Lamido, has indicated his readiness to back Mr. Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election if he becomes the consensus candidate of a coalition.
Lamido made the statement in response to a question about whether he would support Obi, who has pledged to serve only one four-year term if elected president in 2027.

“If the coalition produces Peter Obi or anyone else committed to rescuing Nigeria, I will support them. But I remain PDP. We should have outgrown tribal and regional sentiments. Leadership should be about competence and vision, not geography. What has the North gained from producing the most presidents if the region remains underdeveloped? I’m open to any arrangement that can confront the APC and rescue Nigeria. I’ll support those who share that goal.”
The former governor clarified that the idea of zoning political offices between the North and South was an initiative introduced by the PDP to address a particular issue — the fallout from the annulled June 12 presidential election.
According to him, “it was meant to be a healing mechanism, a temporary measure to restore trust. But now, it has become an albatross.”
