Gov. Sule Lamido of Jigawa has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, lacks solutions to Nigeria’s challenges. Lamido said this on Wednesday at the PDP Presidential rally in Dutse, Jigawa.
He added that no amount of abuse or intimidation will stop him from campaigning for Jonathan/Sambo ticket and other PDP candidates in Feb. 14 and 28 general elections.
“I urge (northern) leaders to stand up and say `no to this culture of blackmail’ where we have been taken hostages by people who mean nothing for Nigeria. “In APC (All Progressives Congress) their only necklace is Buhari, their only decoration is Buhari.
“Remove Buhari from APC that party becomes dead and there is no way Nigeria’s hope will be pinned on a single individual; it does not work. “Which means if there is no Buhari, there is no Nigeria.
There will be Nigeria after five years, there will be Nigeria after Jonathan, there will be Nigeria after Buhari because there had been Nigeria before Jonathan, before Buhari,” Lamido said.
The governor added that APC is a “one-man” party and party of “10/11″ that lacks tangible solutions to challenges facing Nigeria. He also gave his assurance that he would campaign and support all the PDP candidates in the elections. Lamido called on the people of the state to come out en masse and vote for Jonathan/Sambo ticket and other PDP candidates of their choice.
Also speaking, Vice President Namadi Sambo commended Lamido for transforming Jigawa into an enviable state and pledged that the Federal Government under President Jonathan would continue to provide infrastructural facilities in the state.
He also called on the electorate in the state to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to enable them to vote for all the PDP candidates in the February elections. Sambo described Jonathan as a “detribalised person who loves all Nigerians, irrespective of the ethnic or religious backgrounds.”
