Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido says he will no longer attend any Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) meetings until the party expels the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Lamido made this known during an interview on Tuesday. He accused the PDP of ignoring serious cases of misconduct and anti-party activities by some of its members, including Wike.

“I remain a PDP member. But I will not participate in party functions or answer calls to meetings while these individuals remain in leadership,” Lamido said.
He also criticised the party’s Board of Trustees (BOT) for still keeping members like former Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, who openly supported Labour Party’s Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election.
Lamido said, “Look at the Board of Trustees. People like Ortom, who declared support for Obi in 2023, are still members. That’s why I’ve said I will not attend any PDP meeting unless Wike is expelled and people like Ortom are removed from the BOT.”
Lamido said the PDP used to operate with discipline and respect for its constitution, but now many members act against the party without facing any punishment.
He warned that allowing such behaviour sends the wrong message and weakens the party’s unity and values.
