Buhari witch-hunting opposition – Lamido

A former governor of Jigawa state and presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Sule Lamido has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a ‘para-civilian’ due to his alleged intolerance for opposition.
Speaking in Bauchi on Tuesday when he visited the state executives and delegates of the party ahead of the upcoming presidential primary election, Lamido said Buhari had since his assumption of office been witchhunting members of the opposition in the name of ing against corruption.
He pointed out that the former PDP chieftains who defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress were being exempted or absolved of corruption charges, claiming that those who remained in the opposition party suffer persecution.
When Atiku, Kwankwaso, Saraki and others left PDP for APC, they became saints.
But now that they defected from it, they are tagged thieves, corrupt.
But Amaechi, Akpabio and their likes, who are now in APC have been forgiven.
What a trick,”he argued.
He therefore urged the electorate to vote for credibility in the next election and ignore the campaigns of calumny by APC against the PDP aspirants.
He also asked the party delegates to choose him in the forthcoming primaries, noting that unlike other aspirants, he never dumped PDP since it was established.
Responding, the state Vice Chairman of the party, Alhaji Shitu opined that “Lamido is qualified to be president based on his political records,” promising that they would sit down and make decision on who to elect at the presidential primaries.
