Former Governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido has alleged
that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is dragging Nigerians to their
graves.
In an interview with Daily Trust, Lamido accused President
Tinubu of increasing the hardship in the country and influencing judgements in
court. He also accused the Chief Justice of Nigeria of working for the All
Progressives Congress.
He said; “They are implementing what they promised you—agony,
pain, hardship, anguish and insecurity. You don’t feel secure, you are poor,
your take home pay can’t even buy you a bag of rice, so you are now harvesting
what you planted.
“When he said he will continue from where Buhari stopped,
what has he done? When you say you want to continue from where Buhari stopped,
where do you start from? From insecurity, poverty or hunger? Tinubu said he
will continue from where Buhari stopped, so there is no distinction.
“Buhari lacked the political sagacity, vision, commitment,
pedigree to answer or explain the issues he was questioned on.
“Now, after eight years, Tinubu came and said he will
continue from where Buhari stopped, so the next destination is our grave
because the journey has started with a trailer load of poverty, hunger,
insecurity, hate, despondency, frustration, pain, agony, and the destination is
the grave.
“Look at the appeal in APC, the appeal in APC was
corruption, favouritism, nepotism because whatever you are, if you come there,
you are safe. You can steal, you can do anything you want because all they know
is the numbers and because they have more crooks in the party who are willing
to manipulate and impose arbitrarily, that was why they won the election and
you see their government.
“When they try to win any election and it doesn’t work, they
will say ‘okay’ go to tribunal’, and by the time you go there, they are there
earlier than you, isn’t it?
If a whole CJN of Nigeria will attend the party organised by
G-5 governors and ensure they vote for them, you see it is all about the
judiciary.
“So, what it means is that it is part of their preparation
to condition our minds that there is a programme going on and that whoever
loses should go to court, but before you get to court, they are already there
through the CJN, so what do you expect?
“They rallied around Buhari, calling him our own, our own.
So, what is the benefit of ‘our own’ in power to the North, especially the
North West – his own constituency?
“We were demonized, we were called names, so then in that
election, we lost, and thereafter APC came. They vilified us, called us Boko
Haram, especially in the North.
“Before 2014, I had said that in the election coming in 2014
that whoever wins, Nigeria will lose. I said so because some internal
arrangements in the party was breached, and the people, kind of, lost
confidence in the party based on that breach.
“Meanwhile, those in APC were campaigning on hate, division,
malice, so it means the two candidates at that time were only running for
themselves, Nigeria was left behind. The election in 2014 was between Jonathan
and Buhari for their personal ambition and interest, not for the country.
“All along, Nigerians believed in us. In whatever we do, we
put Nigeria first; let her lead and then pursue your interest from Nigeria.
From 2014, it has been the interest leading and Nigeria following behind. That
was why when Buhari won, every Nigerian lost because he was not there for
Nigeria.
“He lacked the political pedigree, political sagacity, and
vision to address the issues of Nigeria. Instead, emotions, sentiments,
ethnicity and religion came to play and today in Nigeria, this triangle of
ethnicity, religion and the region North-South, Islam-Christianity, Yoruba,
Igbo, Hausa and others, are playing out. Tribe, religion and region have been
brought to the forefront in Nigeria by the APC. What did Tinubu say? He said
Emilokan, it is my turn.”

This administration is grave yard dragging as he suggested quite alright. But condemning the party and calling them names, I disagree with you Mr. Sule. Your party brought every bad thing in this country.
ReplyDeleteLastly, all the crooks you see in apc today actually came from pdp.
Beside that, I wonder how a former gov will cry about bad governance
