Former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, has flayed the endorsement of Labor Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a grievous mistake done out of fear for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as well as their candidates, Bola Ahmad Tinibu and Atiku Abubakar.
Lamido who made this assertion while fielding questions from journalists at his residence in Bamaina town in Jigawa lambasted Obasanjo for failing to recognise the honour given to him by PDP which has made him one of the eminent persons in Nigeria and beyond.
‘It is well known that Obasanjo doesn’t like a strong person like Atiku Abubakar to become the president of this country for fear of outshining him and will not be answerable or succumb to his personal ego.’

‘I wonder how a respected person like Obasanjo can endorse a candidate of other party than PDP. This is a big mistake in the annals of history that will not be forgotten.
‘Though Obasanjo is my political leader, this action can’t be overlooked, considering how PDP glorified and elevated him to what he has become today. This is an unforgivable mistake,’ Lamido stated.
The former governor went on to remind Obasanjo of his failed attempt to go for a third term, adding that the former president will also fail in his latest counter-productive political mission.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Lamido, one of the founding fathers of PDP, declared that PDP is the only answer to Nigerian problems, adding that it is the only party Nigerians have confidence in and would certainly not make another mistake of voting another party other than PDP.
