A Nigerian entrepreneur, Dr. Muhammad Shansudeen Lamido, has denied nursing a presidential ambition for 2027.
Lamido dissociates himself from political campaign materials circulating in his name, seeking his candidacy for the presidency of Nigeria.
Lamido, who is from Adamawa State, in a statement he signed and made available to journalists in Jos, the Plateau State capital on Monday, said he did not authorise or consent to the creation and dissemination of such materials.
He urged those responsible to cease and desist from the action, stressing that he has not considered any political aspirations.
He said, “I, Dr. Muhammad Bashir Shansudeen Lamido, a Nigerian international entrepreneur, wish to address a pressing matter. I am compelled to dissociate myself from the numerous political campaign posters, jingles, banners, billboards, and other promotional materials circulating in my name, soliciting my candidacy for the Presidency of Nigeria.
“I categorically declare that I have not authorised or consented to the creation and dissemination of these materials by individuals, associations, or corporations. I hereby advise those responsible to cease and desist from this action.”
Lamido noted that if he were to consider a political career in the future, he would make a formal announcement.
While appreciating the understanding and cooperation of the public in the matter, Lamido said his commitment to his entrepreneurial endeavours remains unwavering, and he will continue to contribute to Nigeria’s economic growth.
“If I were to consider any political aspirations in the future, I would take the appropriate steps and make a formal announcement. Until then, I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.”
