Former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido Speaks Out: No Hope For Tinubu's Administration

Ex-Governor Sule Lamido: The Tinubu Administration is No Friend of Nigeria

Former Jigawa State governor and a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has gone on record to express his skepticism about the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration. In a candid interview with Sunday Sun, Lamido made it clear that he doesn’t anticipate much good coming from this government. His words carry weight, as they reflect a deep dissatisfaction with how the current administration has been functioning.

He emphasized that this government isn’t a product of Nigerian interests but rather serves the selfish ambitions of a select few. It's not just idle talk; it’s a sentiment steeped in years of political experience. Lamido recounted how his party, the PDP, was ousted from power due to perceived failures. Fast forward to today, he feels that the APC, which has been in power for over a decade, hasn’t lived up to the expectations of the Nigerian people.

In his own words, Lamido said, “I have been saying it over and over again. I don’t have an expectation of anything positive coming out of the government. We were in government years ago and we (PDP) were flushed out because of what was seen as ‘our failure.’” He continued, “Alright! In 2014, 2015, you formed APC and the PDP were blackmailed out of power. And they have been there for the past 10 years or so now. Buhari was there for eight years, Tinubu has been there for two years… and I, Sule Lamido, have no expectation of anything positive coming out of this APC government.”

His tone was firm, and he didn’t shy away from calling out the current administration. He added, “Even if I should have an opinion, the people will still say that I am being unfair because I am in the opposition. To me, in all honesty, this government is not a creation of the Nigerian interests, it is a creation of the interests of a few selfish people. And this is most unfortunate. I’m just watching and honestly, I don’t believe that anything good would come out of this government.”

Nigerians Have the Final Say

According to Lamido, the assessment of the present administration lies squarely in the hands of Nigerians. After all, they are the ones who decided to vote out the PDP and bring the APC to power. He believes that Nigerians are fully aware of the current state of affairs and the challenges they face daily.

He elaborated, “If you are asking me about this government, I mean about their performance in terms of their capacity and the quality of their service delivery to Nigerians, well, I think you should ask Nigerians themselves to tell you about their experiences. Ask Nigerians, not me!”

He further explained, “Honestly, they are in the best position to provide answers to your questions. They were the ones, who on their own volition, rightly or wrongly, voted out the PDP years ago and voted in this party and this government. Ask them if they are happy now? Ask them if they are happy with the APC government? And if they are not, then I am sure that they know how to find their way out.”

Comparing the PDP and APC Governments

For Lamido, it’s all about Nigerians making an informed judgment. He stated, “Nigerians should speak about the performance of this government. I feel that Nigerians are thoroughly well aware of what is happening now, they are very familiar with the situation on the ground and they can say whether they are happy or not.”

He concluded by urging Nigerians to compare and contrast the past and present governments. “And they can also very vividly compare and contrast between the PDP government which they voted out years ago and the APC government which they voted for. It is for them to determine and say that we feel better off under the PDP or we are better off under the APC.”
