BREAKING: Lamido Secures PDP Governorship Ticket for 2027, Vows to “Rebuild Jigawa”

Mustapha Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa State governor Sule Lamido, has been endorsed by thousands of PDP members as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 election.

The affirmation took place during the PDP primary at the M-Town Centre in Dutse, with delegates from all 287 wards in attendance. Officials from the PDP national headquarters, INEC, and security agencies monitored the exercise.

In his acceptance speech, Lamido expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and recalled his 2023 bid, saying the party laid a strong foundation despite not winning.

He criticized the current state of Jigawa citing poor governance, hardship, failing education and healthcare systems and promised to fix them, not just lament.

He described his action plan as a binding contract with the people, focused on unity, economic growth, youth empowerment, education, healthcare, social revival, and institutional reform.

Lamido urged party members to stay united and appealed to Jigawa residents for the opportunity to serve. The electoral committee chairman, Isah Ahmed, confirmed Lamido as the consensus candidate after a voice vote.
