Buhari's Government is owned by the PDP – Lamido

A former ​governor of ​Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, ​has declared that the President Muhammadu Buhari APC led government is owned by his party, the PDP.

The PDP presidential aspirant, who recently declared his intention, stated this in a chat with ​Premium Times.


Noting that APC cannot keep Nigeria united​, Lamido said “I am not being critical, but if you analysed what is going on today, compared to three years ago, you can see the concern in Nigeria.​”​

​Reacting to moves by some APC members to return to the PDP, Lamido said: “At the time they left the party, there were indeed some worries within the party. That kind of worries and concern were raised by the seven governors who formed the nucleus of, not opposition really, but maybe raising the alarm that there is problem in PDP.

“In so doing, we went and toured the whole country if you can remember. We told all our political leaders like Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Alex Ekweme, TY Danjuma, Shehu Shagari, Babangida and many others. We told them look, what we are facing in PDP may likely endanger Nigeria’s stability and security in future. It is beyond PDP.

​”​The party must meet at least quarterly under the constitution of the party. But the party did not meet for the whole year under Bamanga Tukur. So if the party did not do things right, there will be a problem, the government will lose.​ ​Somehow, others left in the process. We lost five governors, some parliamentarians, some key members of our party joined other parties.


​”​Now, having gone where they went, have they got comfort? Have they been consoled? Have they been rescued from what they were running away from? Let them come back. They are most welcome. They are coming back to their own party which they left. PDP is their home. But APC is a house which is rented for anybody who wants to be there for a while.

​”​Look at the kind of indignation and insults they are going through. Everyday Lai (Minister of Information and Culture, Mohammed) will abuse them, saying PDP is a party of thugs, a party of thieves, party of this, party of that, but they sit down with them. Lai will say they are shameless, but they are there watching.

​”​Whatever they will say against PDP, the APC government is a PDP government. It is our own.​”​

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body.  As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
