Obi, Atiku Handing Victory to APC — Lamido
Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has said the failure of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to unite is handing victory to the ruling All Progressives Congress ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Lamido made the remarks on Friday, 13 November 2026, during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He said the division among the opposition leaders was giving the APC an advantage.
“Because of the number of governors, both former and serving governors of the APC, and because Atiku and Obi divided their own forces, it gives them the advantage. So both Peter Obi and Atiku are simply handing over the table very, very easily because they cannot come together,” he said.
Lamido accused the leading politicians of being more obsessed with power than addressing Nigeria’s challenges.
“All of them are too obsessed with power, you know? Be it Tinubu, Peter Obi and Atiku,” he stated.
He warned that Nigerians would suffer regardless of who wins the election.
“I have been saying, look, no one is going to tell you that it is for Nigeria. Whoever wins, Nigeria will lose. That is my problem,” Lamido added.
