Why I may dump PDP – Sule Lamido
Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido has said he may leave the party if its internal crisis is not resolved.
Lamido made this statement during an interview with the BBC Hausa Service in Kaduna on Tuesday.
He stated that if things continue not to go the right way, he would take whatever decision he considers best for himself, stressing that if a solution is not found to the problems within the PDP, he would consider aligning with another political party.
The ex-governor also expressed deep displeasure over what he described as deliberate attempts by some individuals to destroy the PDP.
He decried what he termed calculated efforts by some elements within the party to weaken and eventually destroy the PDP.
According to him, the failure of the party leadership to urgently address the deepening divisions may force him to reconsider his political future.
“If we cannot find solutions to the problems facing the PDP, I will have no option but to look elsewhere,” Lamido said.
The elder statesman noted that the PDP, which once served as a unifying platform for Nigerians, is now plagued by internal wrangling that has left loyal members frustrated and disillusioned.
He warned that continued infighting could further erode the party’s strength ahead of future elections, stressing that decisive steps must be taken to restore unity and discipline.

Senator Ogoshi Onawo dumps ADC, over alleged internal crisis, endless legal battles
Lawmaker representing the Nasarawa South Senatorial District, Senator Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo, has officially resigned from the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
His resignation was contained in a letter dated July 2, 2026, and addressed to the ADC Ward Chairman in Galadimawa Ward, Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
The lawmaker attributed his decision to the party’s lingering internal crisis and protracted legal disputes at the national level.
In the letter sighted on Sunday by our correspondent, Onawo said his resignation takes effect from June 15, 2026.
The lawmaker said the persistent internal wrangling and legal battles within the party made it difficult for him to pursue the developmental mandate entrusted to him by the electorate.
“It is driven by my firm belief that the prevailing circumstances within the current party structure and the endless legal battles it is currently embroiled in no longer provide the cohesion, support, and enabling environment for me to focus squarely on effectively representing my constituents and to fully realise the developmental and progressive mandate they entrusted to me,” he said.
