Lamido: Shettima lied, Jigawa PDP says

Vice President Kashim Shettima’

From Mohammed Abubakar, Dutse

The Jigawa PDP has rejected Vice President Kashim Shettima’s claim that former governor Sule Lamido is working discreetly for President Tinubu’s 2027 re-election.

State chairman Dr Ibrahim Babandi said Lamido has never endorsed Tinubu or the APC and does not require proxy spokespersons.

He stressed that Lamido’s political career has been marked by principled consistency and public expression of his views.

Babandi noted that when other G7 governors defected in 2013–2015, Lamido remained in the PDP on ideological grounds.

The party urged the APC to focus on governance challenges rather than manufacturing political alignments.
