Former Jigawa State governor,
Alhaji Sule Lamido, Thursday, met with former military Head of state, General
Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd).
The meeting was part of his
consultative meeting with former leaders of the country concerning his
presidential ambition in 2019.
The meeting, which was held at
the Minna Hilltop residence of the former military leader, in Niger State, was
held behind closed doors and it lasted for about two hours.
Although, Lamido did not address
newsmen after the meeting, but sources said the two leaders discussed extensity
about the presidential ambition of Lamido.
It will be recalled that Lamido
made a similar visit to former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi
Babangida, about two month ago, as part of his nationwide consultations on his
presidential aspiration in 2019.
Before then, he had met with all
the states chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including Zonal vice
chairmen of the party, where he told them of his aspiration and urged them to
pick the best for the party when the time comes.
Few weeks ago, Lamido had
insisted that PDP members will not be discouraged despite what he called
persecution by the current administration.
“We will be courageous. Nigeria
has been around before APC and it will be around after APC.
“APC cannot take us hostage. We
need to stand up. We need people to be courageous.
“We shall not keep quiet. It is
our country. Enough of this culture of nepotism and fear.
“Government should be respected
not feared. Government should be there for all of us, whether APC and PDP. 2019
will be a defining moment for Nigeria”, he had said.
