Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former Jigawa State governor described Jonathan as an experienced leader who understands governance, works well with others, and is unmatched by any current PDP member from the South.
“I don’t see a better alternative than Jonathan if he comes to the PDP,” Lamido said, adding that Nigerians would rally behind him.
Lamido’s endorsement comes amid speculation of Jonathan’s political comeback and internal party turmoil following former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s resignation, which has triggered a wave of defections.
