Is Goodluck Jonathan Still A Member Of PDP? – Sule Lamido Opens Up

A former Governor Jigawa State and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Sule Lamido, has expressed doubt ex-President Goodluck Jonathan is still a member of his party.

Asked if Jonathan is still a member of the PDP in an interview with BBC, Lamido said, “I doubt it; he has not been attending recent activities of our party.”

On why PDP leaders met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo in Ogun State, the former governor disclosed that party leaders went to discuss ways to get Nigerians out of the current challenges they are experiencing under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“Since the coming of Buhari’s administration Nigeria has not be itself as all the foundations for development laid down by PDP are all destroyed by this government.

“We have no peace, no unity, no integrity, no trust and there is abject poverty and we want to change these things. So that is why we decided to go and meet Obasanjo and we did so. We spent at least two hours discussing with him,” he said.

Anaedoonline.ng reports that Jonathan had lost his reelection bid to President Buhari in 2015.

The former president, who has been a member of the PDP since 2015, has been absent at major activities of the main opposition party.
