Lamido made the remark in a press statement from his media aide, Mansur Ahmad, in reaction to Obasanjo’s latest claim on Boko Haram. Lamido who served as Foreign Affairs Minister under Obasanjo between 1999 and 2003 said the claim is not proper for a nationalist of Obasanjo’s stature.
He advised the former President not to allow his disappointment with the current administration to turn him to a religious and ethnic bigot. The former governor’s statement reads in part: “If it were said at a non-religious venue to a non-religious audience, may be; it might have been more tolerable. Please sir, don’t let your disappointment with sitting the President turn you into a bigot. You must not abandon the national stage. The cracks along the various divides in our National cohesion are already turning into huge gorges.”The former President made the statement during a church service at the Cathedral Church of St.
Obasanjo’s statement added: “It’s no longer an issue of lack of education and lack of employment for our youth in Nigeria which it began as; it is now West African Fulanization, Islamization and global organised crimes of human trafficking, money laundering, drug trafficking, gun trafficking, illegal mining and regime change.”
Lamido and Obasanjo are fierce critics of the Muhammadu Buhari administration. They have both openly criticised President Buhari for his handling of the economy and security situation of the country.
It sounds like, Baba se ori yin pe.
Lamido the political first son of Obasanjo will open his mouth to answer his Father? This is a great time to be alive. I am suspecting that's what OBJ said maybe correct for Lamido to answer him back.
Obasanjo might be everything negative but a bigot? No Lamido. He is more Nigerian than everybody you know put together, let us be honest in our criticism.
Mr_JAGs Thank God, his children are talking to him now...
What will eventually kill a rat is in it's restlessness
It is rather unfortunate that OBJ is descending into the arena of religious and ethnic bigotry just because of his frustration with PMB. He should heed Sule Lamido's advice else he loses his hard earned reputation as a nationalist and elder statesman.
I don't like to insult someone old enough to be my grandfather but this type of statements shouldn't be coming from you baba.
ayemojubar Lamido is in self denial.what is obvious is obvious. Buhari is not building a nation.He has all his kin men in all key positions. What is fulanization ?if you know.
He is not a bigot he is saying the truth
Good man elder statesman I just like your courage
Obj is never a statesman.
Is Lamido joining APC.
Its better to say the truth. Nigeria is in trouble but unfortunately, those plans to Fulanize and islamize Nigeria won't work. I believe in freedomofworship
For the first time: kudos sule lamido
