Kano state – A former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has said there is nothing wrong with the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi returning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Lamido said Obi was the running mate to the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar in the 2029 election.
He stated this during an interview on Channels Television on Monday, June 10.
The PDP chieftain said Obi is free to return to the opposition party ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Answering the question if the PDP has assured Obi of zoning the ticket to the south, anybody who is interested in becoming the president is free to contest the primary.
Lamido said he is not a part of Atiku’s presidential ambition and the former vice president does own the party.
He added that Atiku’s ambition is personal and does not in any way have a bearing on the vision and mission of the party at the moment.
In the video of the interview shared on X (formerly known as Twitter)@channelstv, Lamido said:

The former governor of Anambra state stated this while denying the report that he was planning to dump the party for the PDP.
