Former Minister of Foreign Affairs and ex-governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has sounded a warning bell for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that the party is teetering on the edge of a major crisis. In a statement on May 8, 2025, Lamido claimed that key APC figures, including National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, may soon defect to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), signaling a potential seismic shift in Nigeriaโs political landscape.
Political Earthquake Ahead: Lamido asserted, โThe APC is crumbling under its own weight, and Gandujeโs exit to the PDP will be the final nail in the coffin for their unity.โ
Lamidoโs Comments
His comments come amidst growing tensions within the APC, exacerbated by internal power struggles and dissatisfaction with the partyโs handling of economic challenges and security issues. Ganduje, a former Kano State governor, has been a polarizing figure within the APC, and his potential defection could weaken the partyโs grip ahead of the 2027 elections. The PDP, which has been regaining momentum, stands to gain significantly from such a move, potentially altering the balance of power in Nigerian politics.
