Alhaji Mustafa Sule‑Lamido, the son of former Jigawa State governor, has been declared the winner of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) primary and will contest the governorship seat in the next year’s general elections.

The Returning Officer for the primary, Mr Isa Ahmed, announced the result on Sunday, noting that Sule‑Lamido is the sole candidate.

Mr Ahmed said that the selection of the former governor’s son complies with the party’s constitution and guidelines.

After his emergence, Sule‑Lamido thanked the party leadership.

He remarked that the moment was not new to him, recalling that in 2023 the party had entrusted him with the same responsibility.

He added that together they could run a campaign based on unity, hope, reform and a promise of a better Jigawa.

“Although we did not win then, we earned the confidence of hundreds of thousands of our people and laid a strong foundation,” he said.
