Former Governor of Jigwa State and a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of exhibiting so much hatred and pursuing vendetta against his political opponents.
Lamido who spoke at the 15th Daily Trust Dialogue session Thursday, January 18, in Abuja, mocked the former Lagos State Governor, Ahmed Tinubu, urging him to consider leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) which he said has derailed.
The presidential aspirant who used the better part of his speech at the event to lambast the APC, described the President Buhari-led administration as lacking in vision and coordination in the way it runs the affairs of governance.
According to Lamido, the alleged ugly side of President Buhari manifested itself during the administration of late Umaru Musa Ya’Adua when Buhari scorned him and never attended any meeting of the National Council of States simply because he felt bad over his defeat at the 2007 election.

Lamido said the president repeated the same character of hate and unforgiving spirit after emerging as president by haunting down PDP members under the guise of fighting corruption.
“Buhari never attended any meeting of former Heads of State while Yar’Adua was president. But he was the first person to arrive at the meeting after Yar’Adua’s death,” he said.
He said APC won in 2015 by creating disaffection among families, adding that in Gusau, for instance, Buhari supporters went from house to house flogging PDP members for voting against him.
Lamido further berated the APC-led federal government for the shortcomings in governance which he said had led to rise in criminality, rampant killings of innocent citizens, kidnapping and fuel crisis.
He described APC as a coalition of desperadoes who are out to hoodwink Nigerians.
The former Jigawa State governor jokingly mocked Tinubu’s absence at the event, saying: “Tinubu’s car may have been stranded in Lagos hence his inability to attend the event.”
On the 2019 election, Lamido said the focus would be an X-ray of what APC was and what it has become and achieved after the last three years in office.
Lamido who got a standing ovation after his over half an hour speech, said the ruling party was fast turning everyone to a wailer but that hopefully in 2019, the wailing would be over as the PDP that knows how to handle government would come back to rescue Nigerians.
Lamido said he expects APC and President Buhari to have the honour to concede in 2019 when Nigerians will vote them out, the same way Goodluck Jonathan and PDP did in 2015.

“2019 is going to be a defining moment for the PDP. In 2019, there would be no political borders as many of those who are in the APC will likely find space in the PDP to contest the election.
“APC is telling us what government should do after three years in power. They should tell us what they failed to do. They call Nigerians wailing wailers for complaining. Thankfully, wailing will be over in 2019.
“Today, APC members have joined the wailing wailers. Buhari is wailing. His wife is wailing. Sagay is wailing, Akande is wailing, everybody is wailing,” he said.
