A former governor of Jigawa State, Mallam Sule Lamido, yesterday said that the present APC administration in the country was a national embarrassment.

He said that the government lacked cohesion, direction, and laudable programs that would move the country ahead.

According to him, the APC claimed that it would better the country under the Change slogan.

He however, argued that there was no change. He said: “There isn’t any improvement in our social services.

No light, no food, there is abject poverty, anger and agony, no employment opportunities. Is that the change,” he queried.

Lamido, who said that he would contest for presidency on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2019, said that his party would sack the APC.

Lamido made this known to newsmen in his village, Bamaina, in Birnin-Kudu Local Government Area of the state.

It was reported about two weeks ago, that, the National Chairman of the party and former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff; a former Governor of Kano State, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau and the Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwabo, were oiling their machines to run for the presidency in 2019.

Yesterday, Lamido confirmed that he would be running for the presidency in 2019.

He, however, said that the party’s ticket was not given to anybody on the platter of gold, adding that a candidate must earn it.

“If my party finds me worthy of the party’s presidential ticket to serve Nigeria, I will thank God and oblige.

“Although there are issues in the party that we are all working to resolve, we hope to have success soon and come out united.

“As I’m talking to you now, we are working silently to resolve our differences and bring back to our fold those that left the party for APC”, he said.

The party had in recent time been meeting with some of its members who left for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

One of such people is a former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who has been at loggerheads with his state governor and successor, Alhaji Umar Ganduje.

It is also rumoured that the PDP would be willing to receive the Senate President, Bukola Saraki following his current trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The former governor held that the internal crisis in PDP was the reason for its defeat in 2015 general elections.

He said that the party had the capacity to rule the country again but the members must work hard to achieve that.

Lamido denied any rift between him and his successor, Gov. Muhammad Badaru of APC.

He stated that both of them had mutual respect for each other and he had no differences with him other than political ideologies.

He said “I can only answer the clarion call of my party faithful, having truly worked to earn it”
