Alhaji Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa state, has said Nigerians should hold the governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, accountable for the promises that President Muhammadu Buhari hasn’t kept.

Lamido said this in an interview with Politics Hub, a political show on Vanguard Online TV, on Thursday.

He said that the APC governors ran for office in 2014 on the promise of taking change and new order to the next level.

He said,  “It’s these APC governors now who are now complaining after eight years, so you could see their contradiction. 

“Since they came into government, there’s been problem of EndSARS; APC governors never spoke. There’s been the issue of fuel subsidy; they never spoke, so as the issue of insurgency and a number of things which are fundamental to the welfare of the Nigerian people, they never spoke. 

“They are only speaking now on the issue of naira. So, it’s their own headache, it’s their own problem. It’s their own government. It’s their own policy of the government they brought in through blackmail, harassment and coersion. So, I wish them well in their own ordeal and agony.” 

During the interview, Lamido, a former minister of foreign affairs, said that the APC is to blame for the CBN’s naira redesign policy.

He said, “I’m not a spokesperson for the APC, but then I believe the government has a purpose and reason for doing what they did. I’m not in APC; I’m in PDP. It’s an APC government policy. 

“But, in the opposition, we are very obedient; we believe in law and order. We comply with the rules because that’s what the rules are made for – to be obeyed. 

“But, to me it’s purely an APC affair, it’s an APC policy, it’s an APC problem. If there are anger, anguish as a result of the policy, Nigerians should be wiser and vote for PDP.”
