PDP blasts Wike, allege sponsored attack on Sule Lamido.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Jigawa State has reacted to the recent allegation against the former Governor of Jigawa State and one of the founding fathers of the party Sule Lamido by the Northern Youths Movement, NYM.
This follows an alleged sponsored article titled “You were part of the rebellion against PDP in 2014” linked to Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike.
The allegation had sparked outrage among concerned PDP members in Jigawa and the nation, prompting a strong rebuttal.
A statement signed by the leader of the group in Jigawa, Muhammad Mago, condemned the article as a blatant misrepresentation of facts, designed to portray Dr Lamido in a negative light and attributed the alleged smear campaign to Nyesom Wike, accusing him of working to destabilize the PDP.
Muhammad Mago claimed the statement by the so-called and perhaps not existing NYM and its Chairman, “is a malicious attempt to tarnish Dr Sule Lamido’s reputation.”
Wike’s actions, Mago argued, demonstrate a pattern of “Draconian politics” and disloyalty to the PDP, adding that the minister has abandoned the party and is now working with the APC, having accepted a ministerial position
