The founding PDP member warned that failure to achieve reconciliation would leave the party with no option but to explore alliances not coalitions.
According to Lamido, the move could significantly reshape Nigeria’s political landscape.
As reported by Daily Trust, Lamido gave the warning while receiving Jigawa State PDP stakeholders and party leaders at his Kano office.
“We have consulted all of them and asked for cooperation. We are going to sit again. Don’t worry, you are going to vote. There is still no party like the PDP. We should not allow our personal ego to destroy it.
“If reconciliation fails, alliances not coalition will become inevitable. You know there is a difference between alliance and coalition. If you want to make a name in Nigeria, you should join the PDP.”
Lamido criticised the defection of the party’s former vice-presidential candidate to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He described the defection of former Delta state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa as a setback.
The former governor lamented that the PDP internal rivalry has largely benefited the APC.
Lamido alleged that political alignments in the South-West have favoured the ruling party due to tribal sentiments.
Trouble For PDP as Lamido issues threat
Recall that the PDP was threatened with a fresh legal suit by the former governor Lamido.
Lamido had visited the PDP secretariat to purchase a form to contest the party's national chairman, but the secretary said he was not aware of the form.
The former governor's move came after the northern PDP stakeholders announced the endorsement of former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Tanimu Turaki.
