Bode George, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Board of Trustees, has stated that former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido is eligible to run for the party’s leadership.

George made this statement on Tuesday when answering questions during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

His statement comes after Lamido threatened to sue the PDP for allegedly refusing him the opportunity to acquire a nomination form to run for National Chairman.

“The fact that PDP leaders converged and supported an individual for consensus candidate does not mean that others will not compete.

“You want to make the process seamless. It’s an internal dynamic. We have done this in the past and the party did not tell anybody that he or she cannot contest.

“Sule Lamido has the right to compete. He can go and get the form, fill the form and follow the normal process and appear on the day of the convention. We will vote,” George said.
