Former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has said neither President Bola Ahmed nor the two other major contestants for the presidency have what it takes to change Nigeria’s fortune.
Lamido made this statement on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He said Abubakar Atiku of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) are not addressing the major problem facing Nigeria.
Lamido said rather than debate subsidy, poverty and insecurity, the candidates should discuss the root causes of the problems, identifying the enforcement of law and order as the root problem.
“Look, from my own personal opinion, in my view, voting should depend on who is the person with the right kind of quality and calibre to be able to address the same problem.
“Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku, none of them is there for Nigeria,” Lamido said.
He said if he was running for president, he would not talk about subsidy or insecurity first. He would promise Nigerians one thing, enforcement of law and order.
Lamido also accused the leading politicians of lacking firm ideological convictions and jumping from party to party in search of power.
He said the frequent defections show that most of them are more interested in acquiring power than in advancing the welfare of Nigerians.
