2019 Presidency: You Can’t Stop God’s Candidate, Lamido Tells Buhari

Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has told President Muhammadu Buhari that no matter what he does ahead of next year’s general elections, he can’t stop whoever God chooses to become president.

Speaking while addressing some supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi on Tuesday, Lamido accused President Buhari of deliberately hounding his opponents with his anti-corruption war, while allegedly overlooking corrupt persons who express loyalty to him or the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“If you are in PDP they said you are a thief, if you are in APC you are a saint, what kind of justice is this. Governor Ortom has spent three years governing Benue State, immediately he dumped APC, EFCC begins investigation of his administration.

“We are aware that APC has shielded corrupt personalities that are supporting the APC. If you are in APC all your corruption are forgiven, but if you are in PDP you are a thief. We are in democracy, you threaten people that you will jail so and so persons.

The former governor added that, “A leader doesn’t threaten his subjects, he threat them with justice, compassion and mercy, not jail threat and intimidation. (You) can’t change the destiny of whoever God has prepared to become the next president come 2019. I believe in the entrenchment of democracy in the country.”
