Despite ongoing legal disputes within the ADC, Lamido said the internal challenges would not deter him from joining the party. He also dismissed recent claims by Governor Ahmed Aliyu that security efforts in parts of Sokoto State are yielding positive results, asserting that the situation in Sokoto East remains critical and unchanged. The senator stressed that the government’s current strategies have not translated into tangible improvements on the ground.
Lamido called for urgent action, including the increased deployment of security personnel, enhanced intelligence gathering, and improved logistics to combat insecurity in the region. He also highlighted the need for humanitarian support for displaced persons, urging the government to provide shelter, food, and medical care to those affected. Beyond immediate relief, he advocated for long-term solutions to address root causes such as poverty and unemployment, which he said contribute to the cycle of violence.
The senator reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of his constituents, stating that his decision to join the ADC is driven by their collective desire for change. He believes that a fresh political voice can bring new energy and accountability to governance in the region. As Nigeria continues to grapple with rising insecurity in the northwest, Lamido’s defection underscores the growing pressure on political leaders to deliver tangible security outcomes. His move may signal a broader shift in political alignment among lawmakers concerned about the safety of their constituents.
