Former Governor of Jigawa State
and contender for the Peoples Democratic Party’s sole ticket for the 2019
Presidential election, Sule Lamido has declared that President Muhammadu Buhari
has been dumped by ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Lagos State
Governor, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.
According to him, PDP was not
afraid of Buhari, who is now left with his ‘tiny CPC members, having lost
support of members of the other parties that merged to form APC in 2015.
He noted that Buhari of today is
no longer that of 2015 and can now be easily displaced from office.
He told Sun, “That is my business
if they endorse him or if he runs? Buhari came from a very small party called
the CPC. Without the influence of the ACN and the governors who left the PDP,
there was no way he would have won because he came from a very tiny party. If
those who came together to make him what he is, are no longer in the party,
then he has my sympathy for failing to understand this. Look here, Buhari is no
threat to the PDP.
“In PDP, we do not give a damn on
whoever the APC presents for 2019 because we are more than two-third. We know that
as a party, we have made some mistakes and we apologise to Nigerians. If the
likes of Tinubu and Atiku feel concerned about what is happening in APC and
those who were originally in PDP leave, what will become of him? He would only
be left with his tiny CPC, I don’t know how he would do it, but that is his
problem, not mine. In any case, the Buhari of today is not the Buhari of 2015.
“The Buhari of today is fatigued;
he is faced with what you call political party management in a democracy. It is
not where you give orders; here, you have to build some consensus. You can see
he cannot even relate well with the Senate President of his own party.
“So, the Buhari of today is not
the Buhari of 2015. Before 2015, he was Buhari the puritanical. Buhari, who they
saw as the only man at the helm of 20 million people that Nigerians in the APC
were ready to surrender their trust, their reasoning, their honour and
everything because they are so lazy. Look at what (Professor Itse) Sagay said
about the APC. He said they are all thieves. So if they are calling the PDP
thieves, their own man is saying they are all thieves.”
