Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has threatened legal action against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after being denied access to purchase the nomination form for the National Chairmanship ahead of the party’s convention in Ibadan on November 15–16.
Lamido, who arrived at the PDP National Secretariat in Abuja on Monday, described the situation as “weird” after finding offices locked and officials unavailable. He accused party leaders of sidelining the National Executive Committee (NEC) and violating internal democracy.
“If I don’t get the form, I’ll go to court,” he warned.
Lamido rejected the reported consensus backing Tanimu Turaki (SAN) as Northern candidate, insisting his North-West zone was not consulted. He said his push is for discipline, inclusion, and fairness within the PDP ahead of 2027.
