Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has reacted to Vice-President Kashim Shettima’s claim that prominent political figures in Jigawa State, including himself, are supporting the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shettima had made the claim while listing Lamido among those allegedly backing the APC administration.
However, Lamido expressed surprise at the statement, questioning how he could have joined the APC in 2026 when he did not join the party in 2014.
In his response, Lamido said:
“God works in mysterious ways! I did not join the APC in 2014, but I have supposedly joined now in 2026? Although a Kanuri man said it, I am not surprised. But my response, in your language, is ‘Kattuwunum!’”
Lamido’s remarks indicate his rejection of Shettima’s claim that he is among those supporting the APC.
