Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido has pushed back against a claim by Vice President Kashim Shettima that prominent politicians in the state including Lamido are supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Lamido was reacting to a post by DCL Hausa Facebook page tagged: “All the prominent people of Jigawa State are with us, including Sule Lamido – Shettima.”
Questioning the claim, Lamido posted: “God is powerful. I was not with the APC in 2014, so why would I be with it now in 2026?”
He added that the statement came from a Kanuri man and it was “no surprise,” but it’s a “lie.”
