Leadership reports that Lamido said in Kano that the PDP while in power was accused of dividing the country but the same thing is being repeated by the APC who he claimed divided the country along ethnic and political lines.
He said: “I may sound a little different of what is today Nigeria. Because in today Nigeria, everything is politics and there are very strong divides.
“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”.
“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 PDP.”
He said the APC was now a reincarnation of the evil that the PDP represented 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.”
Alhaji Saleh Jili who is the secretary of the elders committee of the APC in Kano in his reaction claimed Lamido should be ignored as he was only seeking relevance after he had lost out of the present political scene.
He added that the PDP was voted out of power because it promoted poverty, unemployment, impunity and corruption
The former governor made headlines when he was re arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission alongside his sons, Aminu Sule Lamido and Mustapha Sule Lamido before a federal high court in Abuja over charges bordering on corruption and money laundering.
