Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has said that the
All Progressives Congress (APC) now represents the evils, which the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was accused of in the past.
Speaking to journalists recently in Kano after he received a
certificate of award of excellent service, Lamido said the APC is now
guilty of the same office it accused the PDP of doing in the past.
“Everything PDP in the past is now with the present APC. PDP was
throwing bombs, bombs are being thrown now, PDP was fuel shortage,
there is fuel shortage now, PDP was killing Muslims, Muslims are being
killed now, PDP was causing poverty and hunger, it is the same thing
with the APC today. PDP was promoting ethnic politics; it is the same
thing now with the APC,” he said.
“If one goes through the social media before the 2015 election,
everything evil was PDP, that PDP was Boko Haram, PDP was fuel
shortage, PDP was poverty, PDP was agony, PDP was fake and was
dividing Nigeria, PDP was looting Nigeria, in fact, everything evil
was.”
He also accused the APC of deeply dividing Nigeria along ethnic and
political divide, adding that the desperation among the spokespersons
of governments, who he said couldn’t speak the truth to the
electorates on the government’s wrongdoings and dividends of
democracy.
“I may sound a little different of what is today Nigeria. Because in
today Nigeria, everything is politics and there are very strong
divides,” he said.
“One is either here or there and even those who are arbiters or
referees or monitors if stand on your own belief you will be accused
by both sides. We are going through a very difficult political
evolution with so many distortions and the 1999 Constitution is
compounding Nigeria’s problem.”
