In an interview with THISDAY correspondent, the former two-time governor of Jigawa state, Alhaji Sule Lamido, spoke about the developments in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
with and emphasised on the need to unite Nigerians in search for a new leadership ahead of the 2027 general election in the country.
While he was reacting to claims that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, is going steadily into an extinction, Sule Lamido says he feels highly agitated, highly concerned about events today in the country and not in his party alone.
He said,
“Our national security, our national economy, our national stability, our national cohesion. That bond of brotherhood and sisterhood have all gone.
We’re back to where we were in 1998, after the death of Gen. Sani Abacha when Peoples Democratic Party was formed.”
Further talking, he said,
“The difference then was that the economy was fairly stable and security was fairly stable. But, the economy and security can only be enjoyed if there is an environment where we mutually believe in each other,
mutual trust and mutual respect because if there is no trust, if we do not believe in each other as a people, as brothers and sisters, as Nigerians, no matter what you do, the economy will not be important to them.”
