Jigawa
State Governor of Sule Lamido has said that the cabals surrounding the
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammad
Buhari would not allow him win next month’s general elections in the country. Lamido
said that the ‘’cabals are capitalizing on Buhari’s so call popularity to seek
elective positions,’’ saying, however, that ‘’Buhari cannot get the mandate of
Nigerians’’ at the polls.
The
governor spoke while addressing a large crowd of the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, supporters in Magatari town in the state during a political rally
in the area, Sunday,
“Frankly,
even my party, the PDP has agreed that General Buhari is an incorruptible
person but those sounding him are selfish, they are misleading him on the
present realities in the country,’’ he said.
Describing the “cabals as dangerous elements,’’ Lamido said that those
deceiving Buhari were the former members of the PDP who dumped the party and
moved closer to Buhari.
“These
cabals seeking elective positions are betrayers. They betrayed PDP; the party
which made them what they are today. They will also betray Buhari as soon as
they get what they want, just as they are calling PDP all sorts of names and
regard Buhari like god now. They will turn their back on him soon,’’ he noted
He
however, assured that the PDP would reclaim all the states it lost due to the
defection of some of its former members.
The
governor then charged the people of the state not to allow themselves to be
lured by desperate power seekers during the February general elections but to
vote for the PDP, stressing that Jigawa was historically a PDP state.
“Maigatari
town has been existing for the past 1000 years but there was no good roads,
clean water supply, good schools, and medical care until when this
administration emerged in 2007,’’ he pointed out and assured that more would be
done if they gave their mandate to PDP.
In his
remarks, PDP state governorship candidate, Malam Aminu Ibrahim said they
were in Maigatari town to express their appreciation over the people’s
cooperation and support for the PDP government in the state and how they leave
in peace despite their strategic location as a border town with Niger Republic.
The
Senator representing Jigawa North West Zone, Danaladi Adamu Sankara donated 20
motor cycles to the state PDP on the occasion.
