2019 presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Sule Lamido has said he will not leave the party even if he loses primaries for the presidential race.
The former Governor of Jigawa said this in an interview with newsmen at the residence of Gen. Jeremiah Useni, during a solidarity visit in Jos on Wednesday.
Lamido had earlier paid a visit to the Plateau PDP secretariat where he declared his intention to run for presidency in 2019.
“All of us vying for Presidency in PDP are equal and are capable of ruling Nigeria as President.
“2019 Presidency is not just about me, we are all working for a just and a common goal to salvage the country. So if I’m not made candidate of our great party, I will support whoever emerges as flag bearer for PDP.”
Lamido debunked rumours making rounds that he was being sponsored for the Presidential race by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He stated that he did not have any godfather in politics and was on his own and was vying for the number one seat in the country.
