Former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has officially declared his intention to contest for the position of National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Lamido made the declaration on Monday through a post on his verified Facebook page, where he also disclosed plans to visit the party’s national secretariat in Abuja to obtain his nomination form.
“By the grace of God, I shall today, Monday 27th October 2025, by 11 a.m., be at Wadata Plaza, the National Headquarters of our very party, Peoples Democratic Party, to purchase the nomination form to run for the office of the National Chairman of the Party,” he wrote.
The former governor, a long-standing member of the PDP and an influential figure within the party, is seeking to lead the opposition as it heads into its next national convention.
The PDP, which governed Nigeria from 1999 to 2015, is set to elect a new National Chairman and other party officials during the forthcoming convention scheduled to hold in Ibadan, Oyo State, next month.
