Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

Former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, has expressed his intention to take legal action against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if he is not provided with the party's nomination form to contest for the position of national chairman. Lamido claims that the party's national organizing secretary and national secretary are unaware of the form's sales process, and he believes that he is being unfairly denied the opportunity to purchase the form due to his recent identification with the Africa Democratic Congress (ADC).
