Lamido Charges PDP Candidates To Avoid Personal Attacks In 2027 Campaigns

As preparations for the 2027 general elections gather momentum, former Jigawa State Governor and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has urged aspiring politicians and candidates to go for issue-based campaigns and eschew personal attacks.
Lamido made the call on Saturday when he hosted PDP Governorship candidates of Gombe, Kano, Bauchi and Yobe states in his hometown Bamaina, Birnin Kudi Local Government.

He said that the issue-based campaign will be helpful in restoring the unity and development of the country especially when the country is facing serious problems.

“We want to redirect and restore the culture of politics in terms of issues not personality,” he said.

We are all Nigerians, we are citizens of this country, we love Nigeria, we must know, we must understand.

“It’s not what somebody has done, it’s what you will give as an individual or as a political party, what are you going to offer Nigerians?”

Lamido said that issues like insecurity, education, economy, corruption are the issues that need attention.

“These are the issues we will be campaigning on so that when we win the government, it is going to be a government of the people.

During the visit, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Gombe State and former Minister of Communications, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, commended the former governor for his fatherly role, steadfastness and commitment to speaking the truth.

Pantami said the visit was also to seek Lamido’s fatherly advice, guidance and support as they navigate the current political landscape.

“Nigeria and Nigerians deserve leaders like Sule Lamido who stand with the masses and have the courage to speak the truth to whoever, irrespective of their position or status,” Pantami said.
