Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido has denied rumours of his defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Laido said: “I’m still in PDP, even though PDP has some problems, but I cannot renounce my history. I can’t simply walk out of my skin and crawl in flesh and blood and be conferred with a smaller skin called ADC. I cannot.”

“So, I cannot simply renounce my history, my legacy and my heritage and say, ‘Today I got something new’. I am out of PDP. I will not do that.”

“I believe in Nigeria. So any arrangements, be it within or outside the Peoples Democratic Party, that will secure and save Nigeria, I am ready to work with it in 2027.”

“Will the creation of new states solve our problems insecurity, poverty, hunger and division between the North and the South? There are more pressing issues than creating additional states.”
