Former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, has taken a swipe at President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and other prominent politicians, accusing them of lacking firm ideological convictions and contributing to the political instability confronting the country.

Lamido, a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the frequent movement of politicians from one party to another demonstrated the absence of enduring political principles, arguing that most of the leading political actors were more interested in acquiring power than advancing the welfare of Nigerians.

The former Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke with journalists in Dutse, Jigawa State, after presiding over the inauguration of the PDP’s 2027 Governorship Campaign Council.

He also criticised the controversy surrounding the removal of petroleum subsidy, describing the debate between the Presidency and supporters of Atiku as a disagreement among members of the same political establishment, which he accused of benefiting from the country’s dysfunctional governance system.

According to him, Nigeria’s fundamental problem is neither the removal nor restoration of fuel subsidy but the collapse of discipline, accountability and enforcement of law and order, which has allowed corruption, insecurity and economic hardship to flourish.
