Former governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido says the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last five years has offered Nigeria nothing but confusion and crisis.
Lamido said Nigeria has become more divided under the APC, stating that there is more hate and disunity between north and south, east and west than ever before.
The 72-years old stated this on Monday at the commissioning of Rumuji-Ibaa-Obele-Isiokpo road in Emohua LGA of Rivers state.
“In the last five years of APC in government, Nigeria has become more divided. There is more hate and disunity between north and south, east and west, Muslim and Christians even… and ever, there are bigger and micro problems,” Lamido said.
The former governor said “From top to bottom, it is all confusion and crisis.”
Lamido urged Governor Nyesom Wike to keep inviting people including APC members to Rivers in order to restore trust in Nigeria.
He said “So please, keep on inviting your people…even APC, call them here because only a leader like you and governors seem to be working together to restore trust in Nigeria.
“So please invite them, let them come. When we see you calling people, they come here and go back to their areas. This means there is hope in Nigeria.
“APC has disintegrated. There is no single job anywhere either in the north or south. What do you hear from any Nigerian president from the north? Nothing. So to ask: is the Nigerian president for the Nigerian people?
“Nigerian people are both in the north, in the south. They are both Igbos, Yorubas or Hausa, or Fulani. They are also Christians, they are also Muslims, so which means it is our common humanity which should be uniting us.”
