Former Jigawa State Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) founding father Sule Lamido has stated that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is nothing without the PDP.
Lamido made the remarks in response to the former president’s recent endorsement of Labour Party LP presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has backed Peter Obi as his presidential candidate according to Metrowatchxtra.
However, Lamido believes it is a disgrace for Obasanjo to support a candidate from a different party rather than the candidate of the party that helped him become the man he is today.
“All that he is saying is because he was Nigeria’s former president under the party (PDP) that invented him, honoured him and dignified him and give him an image globally ”
“Twenty-five years he will not say what he was saying, so its very shame that a PDP invention will now castigate the party”
“Obasanjo is my boss I know, but he is a human and is bound to make mistakes, so he made a big mistake endorsing a party outside his party”
“On the issue of power rotation, people are dishonest, when it comes to a sense of justice and fairness.
“When he was in office, he tried for the third term. Is that fair, is that justice? It’s not. I respect him but we have to stand by our tradition, the history of our political party, our philosophy, and PDP made Nigeria what it’s today”
“He is endorsing Peter Obi because he is either angry that Atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu, are strong characters and personalities, so the fear of these very strong men is what is haunting him.”
