Former Jigawa Governor threatens legal suit if denied right to contest PDP National Chairmanship position


Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has threatened to take legal action against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after he was allegedly denied the opportunity to purchase the nomination form to contest for the position of National Chairman.Lamido, who arrived at the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja, on Monday morning, October 27, 2025, was reportedly prevented from obtaining the form, a development he described as “unacceptable and undemocratic.”Speaking to journalists outside the party headquarters, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed disappointment over the incident and vowed to seek redress in court if not allowed to participate in the forthcoming National Convention slated for November 15 and 16 in Ibadan, Oyo State.
