Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has threatened to take legal action against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after he was reportedly denied the opportunity to purchase the nomination form to contest for the position of National Chairman of the party.

Lamido, who arrived at the PDP National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Abuja, on Monday morning, said he was prevented from obtaining the form — a situation he described as “unacceptable and undemocratic.”

Speaking to journalists outside the party headquarters, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed his interest in participating in the party’s National Convention, scheduled for November 15–16 in Ibadan, Oyo State, but vowed to seek redress in court if the situation remained unresolved.

“I came here to buy the form for the chairmanship position, but I was denied,” Lamido said. “This is not the democracy our party stands for. If this continues, I will have no choice but to approach the court for justice.”

Lamido had earlier announced his intention to contest in a post on his verified Facebook page, stating:

“By the grace of God, I shall today, Monday, 27th October 2025, by 11 a.m., be at Wadata Plaza, the national headquarters of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party, to purchase the nomination form to run for the office of National Chairman.”

As of press time, PDP officials had not issued an official statement regarding the former governor’s allegations.
