The immediate past governor of
Jigawa State, Sule Lamido has noted that the level of corruption in the current
administration has sent the Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari and her
daughter Zahra wailing.
The former foreign affairs
minister said this in an interview with Vanguard where he also noted that
Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, PACAC, Itse
Sagay is also being frustrated.
Lamido, who is in contention for
Presidency in 2019 on the aegis of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, said the APC had shown it was more corrupt than the PDP.
“And thank God, today, because of
their high-level fraud, the First Lady of the country (Aisha Buhari) too is
wailing; even her daughter is wailing.
“The wailing is spreading so much
so that the professor of law (Itse Sagay), whose committee was called to stem
corruption in the country, too is wailing because he said APC is also corrupt.
The latest ‘wailing’ is about the
former Chairman of the Police Pension Reform Panel, Maina, who was reinstated
and promoted after being accused of stealing N2billion pension money.
“And it is like the ‘wailing and
wailing’ is not about to end because there is so much economic hardship in the
land.
“Look, let me tell you, these
people are citizens of this country by right and not by privilege; they should
not be mocked for talking about their own government
“Since May 29, 2015, has there
been no money appropriated for them to spend? But they were looking for the
money they claimed PDP stole.
“They were looking for who stolen
this and that. When they wanted to form the APC, the same people calling PDP
names came to me in Jigawa when I was still governor, asking me to come and
join them and that brings me to the situation whereby our followers fight
because of political ambitions.”
