2019 Presidency: Only God Can Stop Me From Ousting Buhari – Lamido

Ex-Jigawa State Governor, Alh. Sule Lamido, has said that no amount of intimidation by the current “authorities of power” can stop him from becoming the President of Nigeria in 2019, except God stops him.

THE WHISTLER recalls that Lamido has been on the radar of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for some time as, perhaps, part of efforts by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to taint his image against contesting for Presidency in 2019.

The former governor, while speaking to newsmen at a support rally in Bamaina village of Birnin Kudu, cautioned the current administration against “tyranny, impunity and abuse of human dignity.”

An enormous crowed of youths had reportedly rallied round Bamaina Village, urging him to contest in the coming Presidential elections.

“The desperation by those in authorities of power today must know that the same God that have made Balewa, Ironsi, Gowon, Murtala, Shagari, Buhari, Babangida and Jonathan Presidents could do the same for me if Allah so wishes,” Lamido told pressmen,” Lamido said.

“All this coercion and intimidation was because of my aspiration and I must tell them that no matter what, if Allah has destined that I will be President, they cannot stop me or deter me because that will amount to fighting against the wish of God.

“Leaders should beware of the consequences that followed tyranny, impunity and abuse of human dignity.

“I am their father and they are coming to greet me and you are saying they have to ask for permit, permit for what?

“All over this country I’ve never heard of a mutual gathering that requires one to ask for permit, even on Saturday, we were in Sokoto for a wedding where thousands of people attended or even naming ceremonies where hundreds attend, have you asked them to show their permit?, but because it’s Sule Lamido, whoever that is coming to see me must acquire a permit to do so”.

“If your (the youths) prayers for me to be the President of this country is the wish of Allah, let it be, for Allah is the One that made others like Jonathan, Tafawa Balewa, Obasanjo.”
