It Is Not About What Someone Did – Lamido Challenges PDP Aspirants Ahead Of 2027

Former Jigawa State Governor and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has urged party members to focus on issue-based campaigns and avoid personal attacks ahead of the 2027 election.

He asserted that focusing on issue-based campaigns will help restore unity and development in the country, especially as it faces serious problems.

Naija News reports that Lamido stated this on Saturday when he received PDP Governorship candidates from Gombe, Kano, Bauchi, and Yobe states in his hometown, Bamaina, Birnin Kudi Local Government.

According to him, “We want to redirect and restore the culture of politics in terms of issues, not personality.

“We must know, we are all Nigerians, that’s very important, we are citizens of this country, we all love Nigeria.

“It’s not about what someone did, it’s about what you will give as an individual or political party, what are you going to offer Nigerians?”

Lamido explained that issues such as insecurity, education, economy, and corruption, among others, are the issues that require attention.

“These are the issues we will be campaigning, so that by the time we win the government, it is going to be a government of the people, ” he said.

Speaking during the visit, the PDP governorship candidate in Gombe State and former Minister of Communications, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, commended the former governor for his fatherly role, steadfastness, and commitment to speaking the truth.

Pantami said the visit was aimed at seeking Lamido’s fatherly advice, guidance, and support as they navigate the current political landscape.

“Nigeria and Nigerians need leaders like Sule Lamido who stand with the masses and possess the courage to speak the truth to anyone, regardless of their position or status,” Pantami said.
