The former governor of Jigawa state and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has stated that Nigerians are starving under President Muhammadu Buhari, and this has made them lose the strength to protest against the hike in the prices of essential commodities in the country.
Lamido made this claim in Bauchi Tuesday evening when he addressed delegates and supporters of the PDP in Bauchi State, stating that he is a Nigerian who, God willing, will become the President of Nigeria come 2019.
The presidential aspirant described officials of the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government as thieves who, he said, have deceived and disunited Nigerians along tribal and religious lines. Lamido accused the Buhari administration of being selective in the fight against corruption, stating that “if you are in PDP they said you are a thief, if you are in APC you are a saint, what kind of justice is this. Governor Ortom has spent three years governing Benue State, immediately he dumped APC, EFCC begins investigation of his administration.
Lamido, who traced the history of politics in Nigeria from the first republic down to the present fourth republic, said Nigeria has had more credible and trustworthy leaders like Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo , Late Sa’adu Zungur, and Mallam Aminu Kano to mention just a few.
The presidential aspirant accused the APC government of bringing untold hardship to Nigerians “by introducing anti-people policies contrary to the fake pledges they make during the electioneering campaign, today there is high cost of living in all aspects of life.
Lamido urged Bauchi delegates to elect him as the party’s presidential candidate and to prepare to make sacrifice and endure more hardships through threats and intimidation “that will come from the APC government in their quest for reelection”.
He said with patience, perseverance, hard work and determination, PDP will win the 2019 presidential election and will win other elective positions.
