He said PDP stakeholders must prioritise unity over personal ambition, stressing that Nigeria’s current challenges demand a stronger and more united opposition.

Lamido, in a statement, noted that many members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) were originally from the PDP, arguing that this reflects the party’s enduring influence.

He said, “Let us forgive one another. We are brothers and sisters. We should not allow present anger to destroy the future. Life is dynamic, and today’s disagreements should not define tomorrow.”

He warned that internal strife is the most damaging form of conflict within any political family, adding that PDP must avoid self-destruction.

According to him, “When a family begins to fight itself, it becomes deeply divided. For the sake of posterity, we must forgive and reunite.”

Lamido insisted that PDP remains the most structurally rooted political party in Nigeria, expressing confidence that no other platform can dominate the political space in the next decades.

He said, “I don’t see any party that can dominate Nigeria in the next 50 years more than the PDP. Many other parties are temporary arrangements.”

He added that political actors currently in APC or ADC are still, in essence, products of PDP’s political foundation.

Lamido described the ongoing crisis in the party as unnecessary, saying it has turned into a damaging internal struggle over positions and leadership.

He emphasised that while internal competition is normal in a democratic setting, it should not become personal or destructive.

He further explained that party positions should be seen as collective responsibilities rather than personal victories or losses.

Reflecting on his vision for the party, Lamido said that if given leadership, he would have worked to reunite prominent PDP figures, including former presidents and governors, to strengthen the party’s image and message.

He also suggested that many politicians currently in other parties are willing to return if they see a stable and credible PDP structure.

According to him, restoring unity and trust within the party could trigger a major political realignment ahead of future elections.
