Nigeria Sule Lamido Vows to Sue PDP After Being Blocked from Buying Chairmanship Form

The Digest:

Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has threatened to sue the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after being prevented from purchasing a nomination form for the National Chairmanship position. The incident occurred at the party’s Abuja secretariat on Monday, escalating internal tensions ahead of the November National Convention.

Key Points:

• Sule Lamido was denied the opportunity to buy the PDP chairmanship nomination form.
• The former governor described the action as “unacceptable and undemocratic.”
• Lamido vowed to seek legal redress if not allowed to contest at the convention.
• He had publicly declared his intention to run via a Facebook post.
• The PDP National Convention is scheduled for November 15–16 in Ibadan.
• The event aims to elect new members of the National Working Committee (NWC).
• This development deepens existing internal crises within the opposition party.

As the convention approaches, this blockade highlights deepening fractures and a struggle for transparency within Nigeria’s main opposition party.
