lamido
Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has declared that former President Olusegun Obasanjo will never endorse the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, against President Goodluck Jonathan.
He told New Telegraph in Dutse that even though it was in the human nature to forgive and forget, he saw no reason Obasanjo should back Buhari, who worked with late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, when Obasanjo was jailed.
His word: “Obasanjo was in jail when Buhari was calling the shots under Abacha.
“Who jailed him? Abacha. What was Buhari under Abacha? He was the PTF boss. He knew that Obasanjo was his own Commander-in-Chief.
“By the time voting ends on Saturday, they will come to the ground, knowing that they have been fooling themselves.
“That’s why I said no matter who dies in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the party will remain. It is just like Nigeria. It is not about individuals; it is the people. That is why anywhere you go, the whole idea has been bought by the people.

A quarter century ago, after Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army successfully invaded and took over the tiny Persian Gulf nation of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors. The Gulf War begat the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which begat the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which begat ISIS, which begat a potential future war with Iran or Syria or even what remains of Iraq.
