A former Minister of Police
Affairs and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Ibrahim Lame, has
declared his intention to contest the Bauchi State governorship election in
2019.
Lame made the disclosure on
Tuesday while addressing his supporters who paid him a congratulatory visit on
his appointment as Chairman of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA)
by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former minister, who lost to
the incumbent governor in the party’s primaries in2015, said his intention was
to repair “the destruction of Bauchi” by the current administration in the
state.
He recalled that he along with
other well-meaning politicians, “met over 100 times with several supporters and
groups to successfully dislodge ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in
2015.”
“In Bauchi State, nothing has
changed since 2015. This lack of change has not changed our resolve and so we
must renew our desire for coming together in the first place to repair the
destruction of our state.
“We know what the problem is and
we know the steps we must take to address it. We cannot be silent without
having a concrete plan for repair.
“Most of my supporters have gone
to radio stations and you have cone today calling on me to run, I want to let
you know that that the desire to run and fix the problem of Bauchi State is
even stronger than 2015.
“I assure you that every
preparation that you as my supporters are making, we have also gone far. Even
those you don’t not think are with us are with us in this journey and we must
adopt the right path in our quest.
“The experience of 2015 where
candidates were elected because of the popularity of President Buhari will not
repeat itself. I advise you to investigate those you want to vote as leaders.
“The panful fact is that instead
of our leaders in the state to follow due process as laid down by the party,
they are at the forefront when it comes to destroying it. Beware of this kind
of politicians.
“This this time around, we will
not accept those who come with mischievous intentions, those that come with aim
of cheating us, our country and children to come along with us. We will not
allow it.
“I want to assure you that whatever
has been destroyed in Bauchi State will be fixed when I am elected. We all know
that so many things have been destroyed”
