Former Jigawa State Governor and a Chieftain of the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Sule Lamido has issued a warning to leaders and stakeholders of the party that if the party doesn’t get things right ahead of the 2023 general elections, Nigeria will be in trouble.
Lamido made the assertion while speaking on Tuesday during a meeting which the members of the National Working Committee (NWC), of the party held with past Governors and some zonal leaders of the party in Abuja.
The former Jigawa State Governor maintained that there was a strong need for the party to be properly organised, saying ‘if we lose power, Nigeria may likely come to an end.’

Lamido noted that, ‘Since your (Ayu’s) election, there have been expectations by Nigerians as to which way forward, the only party with the capacity, networking and commitment in Nigerian politics is PDP.
He continued, ‘In 2023, PDP is being looked upon as to which way Nigeria will go. If we don’t get things right in 2023 Nigeria will be in trouble.
‘A developed party is the only way in which a government is formed, a party that is not properly organised, directed cannot form a good government. That is why you see the APC, the party is not organized.
‘A good party platform, organised, committed to Nigeria will produce a very good government.
‘A party, which is in disarray and unorganized will spell doom for Nigeria like we are going through with the APC.’
He submitted that the PDP was a single-family and the only hope for Nigeria in 2023.
In his remark, the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, tasked past governors of the party and other leaders to help bring their colleagues and other chieftains who have left in anger, back to the party’s fold.
Ayu described PDP as the only party truly owned by the people and which will not fall apart, no matter who leaves.
The PDP National Chairman, while speaking at the meeting submitted that the first task he was giving to the former governors was to immediately reach out to their former colleagues who have benefited from the party, enormously and abandoned the party.
