Sule Lamido, former governor of Jigawa, says he is willing to join “any arrangement” to oust President Bola Tinubu from office in 2027.
Lamido spoke in an interview on Arise TV on Saturday.
On Friday, a coalition of opposition leaders formed the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), a political party aimed at challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential election.
The newly formed party is spearheaded by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and Nasir el-Rufai, ex-governor of Kaduna.

Lamido, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he is open to joining any entity “no matter its nomenclature” if it will get the APC out of power.
“I am part of any arrangement, no matter its nomenclature, to remove this government of incompetence, insecurity, that is dividing Nigeria firmly between north and south, out of power. I will go into any arrangement for that purpose,” the former Jigawa governor said.
“This government is dividing Nigeria along ethnic lines and using the institution of the state in manipulating, coercing and controlling the opposition.

“The entire government today is not for Nigerians but for the political party.
“I will be part of any arrangement, configuration if it is going to remove this government from power.”
