Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has said Nigerians need to see improvements in their lives now, rather than being asked to wait for promised future gains from government policies.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>Lamido, who spoke on Channels Television, said voters wanted security and the benefits of a good life in the present.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy should I be told to wait for the future? What are you offering people now to make sure that tomorrow they believe?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople today need to be very, very confident. But when you are saying, \u2018Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,\u2019 no, please give it to me today. I don\u2019t want to follow you tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former governor also denied endorsing President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 presidential election, saying he remained committed to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.<\/p>\n

Lamido said: \u201cI am PDP through and through. I\u2019m voting for PDP. My candidate is Prof. Ono. That\u2019s my candidate for PDP.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said his support for the party extended to elections at all levels, including councillorship, chairmanship and governorship.<\/p>\n

Asked about reports that the PDP would work with Tinubu under a proposed \u201cRainbow Coalition\u201d, Lamido said he had not been consulted about the arrangement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe never called me, never invited me, never consulted me. So I have no idea what he is doing,\u201d he said, referring to the party leader associated with the initiative.<\/p>\n

Lamido said he was not aware of the details of the proposed political arrangement and had not met the leader in recent months.<\/p>\n

On the 2027 campaigns, he urged candidates to focus on the country\u2019s most pressing challenges, particularly insecurity and the economy, and explain how they planned to address them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are the issues in Nigeria? Security issues in the economy, these are the main issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lamido said voters should assess candidates by their capacity, authority, commitment and willingness to act, rather than by political alliances or rhetoric.<\/p>\n

He also warned that hate speech and divisive campaigning could deepen tensions, urging politicians to focus on what they could offer Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe campaign should be on issues: what can you offer?\u201d he said, criticising campaigns that dwell on personalities and division.<\/p>\n

Asked who he believed voters should support, Lamido said he was uncertain about the choices before them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you go in there, say, \u2018God, please guide me,\u2019 because I\u2019m confused. I don\u2019t know who to vote for,\u201d he said, before reiterating his support for the PDP candidate.<\/p>\n

Lamido said the country\u2019s unity, security and economic wellbeing should remain central to the political debate, regardless of which candidate wins the election.<\/p>\n
