Addressing his supporters, including former local government chairmen, ex-commissioners and other political appointees, who paid him a solidarity visit at his Sharada office in Kano, Lamido expressed concern over the lingering crisis within the party.
According to him, he believes the present crisis is partly meant to undermine his political relevance, especially because long-time stakeholders like himself have been completely sidelined by new forces within the PDP.
Lamido stated that he did not take the legal route to force himself into party leadership, but rather to protect the PDP’s legacy and defend his fundamental rights.
