Former Jigawa State governor, who is a chieftain of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Sule Lamido has accused former president Muhammad Buhari of supporting Ahmed Lawan to succeed him as president, when he (Buhari) as a northerner has just spent 8-years on the presidency and power was supposed to shift to the south
Lamido said, “Prior to the APC Presidential convention, he (Tinubu) was in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he boasted that it was his turn to rule Nigeria. And Buhari, very naive, was watching. He never liked Tinubu. There was somebody he wanted.
“He didn’t even trust his own vice president, Professor (Yemi) Osinbajo; he wanted Ahmed Lawan, but his calculation was absurd. You have done eight years for the North and you wanted another Northerner for another eight years?! No. Maybe later but there are some dynamics which you can’t alter, not in Nigeria of today.
“The president of Nigeria, after being in office for eight years, lacked the courage to push through his anointed choice. He was there at the convention and Tinubu that he never liked, he never believed in emerged. Tinubu knows that his victory wasn’t from Buhari, therefore, he owes him nothing, former Jigawa state governor said.
“He wasn’t the choice of Afenifere, Obasanjo never liked him, but he became president. All the other groups, including the governors, were there but he won. He was determined to demolish all obstacles and he crushed them.” he added.
However and Curiosly though, this same Alhaji Sule Lamido was everywhere vigorously working and manipulating the politics for Atiku Abubakar, also a northerner to be elected as.president in 2023 to serve another eigh (8) years after Buhari had served for 8-years.
What an hypocrite who just wanted to get at former president Muhammad Buhari!
