Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has described, Peter Obi’s endorsement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a big mistake.
Lamido, who was a Foreign Affairs Minister under Obasanjo’s administration, made the statement while answering questions from newsmen at Bamaina, his country home, near Birnin kudu Local Government Area of Jigawa.
“Obasanjo is my boss, I believe in him, but he is also a human being, he can make mistakes. So he made a mistake.
“It’s a big mistake for him to endorse a candidate outside his own party which gave him the relevance, the importance, the image globally to become what he is.
“You don’t do that because of the younger generation.
“Whatever he said, whether power rotation or power shift, whatever it is, people are being a little bit dishonest,” Lamido said.
In what is an apparent jibe against his former boss, Lamido said that people should understand that when a party honours them, they are expected to, in return, respect that party.
