Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido has pushed back against a claim by Vice President Kashim Shettima that prominent politicians in the state including Lamido are supporting the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Lamido was reacting to a post by DCL Hausa Facebook page tagged: “All the prominent people of Jigawa State are with us, including Sule Lamido – Shettima.”
Questioning the claim, Lamido posted: “God is powerful. I was not with the APC in 2014, so why would I be with it now in 2026?”
He added that the statement came from a Kanuri man and it was “no surprise,” but it’s a “lie.”
His response appeared to dismiss Shettima’s claim that he was among the Jigawa figures backing the APC.
The comment had attracted more than 900 reactions and 170 replies at the time shown in the screenshot.
