2027 presidency: Why Jonathan Is PDP’s Best Option – Lamido

Former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido has stated why ex-president Goodluck Jonathan is the best option for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Friday, Lamido hinted that Jonathan remains unchallenged when it comes to pedigree, experience in office, and temperament.

He said there is no better alternative than the nation’s former president.

“I think so far now in the PDP, with all due respect to all the members of the PDP, I don’t see any better alternative than Jonathan. If he comes into PDP, I don’t see any other person, really.

“If we are giving the president to the south, who is there in PDP who can challenge Jonathan? In terms of pedigree, in terms of being there in office, in terms of being cool-headed, in terms of somebody who is willing to listen… and somebody who also believes in partnership.

“I think for PDP now, they should try to woo him. To me, he is their best bet. Anybody put forth by the PDP, Nigerians will support him.

“He is most welcome, competent, and very qualified. To me, I welcome him into the PDP,” Lamido stated.
