Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has called on former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, not to allow his disappointment with the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration turn him to a bigot.
Obasanjo, who spoke at the 2nd session of the Synod held at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Oleh, in Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State, had said “Boko Haram and herdsmen’s acts of violence were not treated as they should at the beginning. They have both incubated and developed beyond what Nigeria can handle alone. They are now combined and internationalised with ISIS in control.
Lamido has now noted that such remarks coming from the former president was “very much unlike you sir.”
He further said if the remarks by Obasanjo were made at a non-religious gathering to a non-religious audience, it would have been tolerable.
“I therefore call on our boss, Obasanjo, not to let his disappointment with the sitting president turn him into a bigot. He must not abandon the national stage.”
