Former Jigawa State governor and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has declared that President Bola Tinubu has become an “emperor” in Nigeria’s political landscape, making him a formidable force to challenge in the 2027 elections.
The PDP further added that ex-President Muhammadu Buhari never wanted Tinubu to succeed him as Nigeria’s president, favouring a former Senate President, Ahmed Lawan for the presidency. Lamido further claimed that Buhari did not trust his vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo, as his successor.
Lamido, however, described Buhari’s political strategy as “naive and absurd,” asserting that the former president desired a northern successor after his eight-year tenure.
