PDP's Governor Lamido says Buhari Is Honest & Trustworthy

There is no doubt that President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP will be having their first real electoral and political challenge come February 14, 2015, and Governor Sule Lamido believes so too.

In what appeared to be a political somersault, the Jigawa State governor, who is one of the PDP founding fathers and Jonathan's Campaign Director in the North, over the weekend showered encomiums on the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as an honest, trustworthy and patriotic Nigerian leader.

Lamido stated that Buhari is an incorruptible person with a high-profile integrity, honesty and national patriotism, adding that he does not have any problems with him.

Governor Lamido stated this while addressing thousands of PDP supporters during the party campaign tour held in Maigatari local government of the state.

He explained that he only has problems with some of those who lost relevance in PDP and are now hiding under the Buhari profile, calling PDP all sorts of names.

“Those defectors who were glorified by PDP and after losing relevance left the party because of their selfish interest, we would do everything possible within the law to ensure that they fail despite their hiding under Buhari. Those defectors are not agents of any change; rather, they are just ungrateful and political liabilities,” he said.

The mammoth gathering of PDP members appeared to be happy and smiled when the governor showered praises on the APC presidential candidate. This may not be unconnected with the failure of their party candidate, President Jonathan to fulfill all the campaign promises he made to them in 2011.
