The former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has appealed to his followers to give the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, a 10-day ultimatum to resolve its differences and also called for the immediate dissolution of the Ibadan Elective Convention.

In the same vein, Sule Lamido called for the immediate setting up of a Caretaker Committee to steer the affairs of the party before the next primaries for elective positions.

Lamido was speaking at his Sharada office in Kano when he received hundreds of his followers, including former Local Government Chairmen, former Commissioners, and other appointed leaders from his administration.

Lamido noted that he regretted that the crises happening in the PDP were being attributed to him. He said the problem today is that outsiders have captured the party, pushing original owners like him aside.

He added, “I want the Court not to insist that I must get the leadership of the party, but to sustain its legacy and to also protect my fundamental rights that were tampered with.”

Lamido hinted that, as it stands, Damagun and Anyawu remain the leaders of the party because their tenure will elapse on December 8, 2025. He expressed concern that without proper leadership, the future of those contesting, those holding positions, and those wishing to recontest in the party could be at risk.

“I am pushing for a Caretaker Committee, asking Wike, Damagun, and others to forgive themselves and allow the setting up of the Caretaker Committee in its place,” he said.

He urged all leaders to allow a joint meeting that will carefully and religiously discuss the PDP, so the party can be put in its rightful place.

He asked his followers to remain calm until December 8 and see what unfolds.
