Shockwave in Politics: Sule Lamido Backs Peter Obi, Says "Tinubu Can Be Stopped
In a surprising political development, former Jigawa State Governor and influential PDP chieftain, Sule Lamido, has publicly declared his support for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate. Speaking in a recent interview, Lamido stated firmly that President Bola Tinubu is not unbeatable, adding fuel to rising opposition momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Lamido, known for his blunt political commentary and deep roots in Nigeria’s democratic evolution, emphasized that change is possible when Nigerians rally behind a credible and visionary leader. His endorsement of Peter Obi—a figure seen by many as a symbol of hope and reform—signals a potential shift in alliances among Nigeria’s political elite.
This move has sparked widespread reactions across party lines and on social media, with many seeing it as a major boost for the Obi movement and a challenge to Tinubu’s re-election strategy.
