Lamido, in a statement shared on his official Facebook page, questioned the existence of an effective National Working Committee within the PDP, highlighting the party’s conspicuous absence in addressing the internal strife.
He characterized the party’s response as a display of utmost docility, allowing a rival political figure to wield influence over PDP affairs.
The former governor contended that President Tinubu’s involvement was not aimed at fostering peace in Rivers State but rather enhancing the fortunes of the APC.
Sule Lamido raised concerns about the potential consequences of what he termed an “illegality” and criticized the PDP National Executive for not taking a more assertive stance.
Drawing attention to the role of Chief Edwin Clark, an Ijaw leader, Lamido highlighted the necessity for the PDP to challenge the perceived illegality through legal means.
He urged the party to follow Clark’s example and confront the situation head-on, emphasizing the need for the PDP’s National Executive to protect its interests.

He alleged that the signing took place under duress, marked by an environment of fear, intimidation, and blackmail. Lamido accused President Tinubu of playing a double game, metaphorically “running with the deer and hunting with the hound.”
In a final call to action, Lamido urged the PDP National Executive to either stand up and defend its interests or gracefully step down to make way for capable leadership.
The former governor’s critique underscores the internal challenges facing the PDP and the complex political dynamics surrounding the Rivers State crisis.
