Lamido to Southern, Middle Belt elders:"The culture of governance is deteriorating"

A former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has reported President Muhammadu Buhari to the Southern and Middle Belt Elders Forum.

Lamido, a presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, wondered why Buhari is yet to be impeached after publicly announcing that he would work in favour of where he got 95 per cent votes and do less where he got five per cent.

The former governor alleged that heinous crimes such as killings and kidnapping were increasing due to injustice by the current administration.

Lamido spoke with journalists after he met with the Forum of Southern and Middle Belt leaders in Abuja at the residence of an Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark on Monday.

He said, “The culture of governance is deteriorating because of absence of justice, which should be the anchor of governance but it is not in Nigeria anymore.


“That is why you are seeing all these kidnappings, Boko Haram attacks, killings in Taraba, Adamawa, Zamfara, Sokoto and all over Nigeria.

“This country is not being run according to law and order; there is nothing like justice in Nigeria. Therefore, Nigerians feel that this country is not good anymore.

“This government is trying to bury the contributions of our founding fathers; integrity and honesty are not new in our vocabulary.

“Before Buhari there was integrity; there was Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo, Aminu Kano and Nnamdi Azikiwe. These are people of honour and integrity. He (Buhari) has never for once paid tributes to our founding fathers.”


Lamido added, “More than anything, we are going through a period of injustice. In other climes he (the President) will be impeached because he said he would work in favour of where he got 95 per cent votes and do less where he got five per cent.”
