Former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has said Nigeria is now
more divided under the All Progressives Congress-led government.
Lamido, who spoke at the commissioning of Rumuji-Ibaa-Obele-Isiokpo Road
in the Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State on Monday said it
has been all confusion and crises in the last five years.
He said: “In the last five years of APC in government, Nigeria has
become more divided. There is more hate and disunity between North and
South, East and West, Muslim and Christians even and ever, there are
bigger and micro problems. From top to bottom, it is all confusion and
crisis.”
Lamido also urged the governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike to keep
working with other governors to restore trust in Nigeria.
He said: “Please, keep on inviting your people…even APC, call them here
because only a leader like you and governors seem to be working together
to restore trust in Nigeria.
“So, please invite them, let them come. When we see you calling people,
they come here and go back to their areas. This means there is hope in
Nigeria.
“APC has disintegrated. There is no single job anywhere either in the
North or South. What do you hear from any Nigerian president from the
north? Nothing. So, to ask: is the Nigerian president for the Nigerian
people?
“Nigerian people are both in the North, in the South. They are Igbos,
Yorubas or Hausa, or Fulani. They are also Christians, they are also
Muslims, so which means it is our common humanity which should be
uniting us.”
