The Supreme Court has fixed April 22 for the hearing of two appeals filed by the Kabiru Turaki‑led leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging recent judgments on the party’s national leadership dispute.

EFCC Insists On Retrial Of Sule Lamido By Former Judge

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has insisted that the retrial of former Jigawa State governor Sule Lamido on alleged N1.35 billion fraud charges should be handled by the original trial judge, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu. The anti graft agency revealed it has written to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, requesting that Justice Ojukwu, who was transferred to the Calabar division, be brought back to Abuja to continue with the case. Lamido, his two sons Aminu and Mustapha, and some companies are facing a 37 count charge bordering on money laundering and alleged diversion of funds linked to Jigawa State contracts while he was governor. The defendants were first arraigned in 2015, but in July 2023 the Court of Appeal upheld their no case submissions and struck out the charges, prompting the EFCC to […]

Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido says genuine reconciliation in the Peoples Democratic Party depends on leaders accepting the Nyesom Wike backed National Caretaker Committee.He made the appeal during a Ramadan Iftar with PDP executives and members in his hometown, Bamaina.

BREAKING: Supreme Court dismisses Sule Lamido’s son Aminu’s appeal on undeclared $40,000 cash

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by Aminu Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, challenging his conviction for failing to declare $40,000 at the airport and for making a false declaration of foreign currency in a case brought by the EFCC.

PDP’s Collapse Will Crown Nigeria’s President as Emperor – Sule Lamido Warns

Lamido’s Dire Prediction: ‘No PDP Means Imperial Presidency’ Former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido has warned that Nigeria risks breeding an “emperor president” if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) collapses, arguing that the opposition’s survival is critical to preserving democracy.
