A group known as the South~South Concerned Youths has knocked a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido over his attack on Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.
In a statement signed by the group’s representative, Honourable John Allwell, the group described Lamido as “divisive”, adding that the former Governor keeps “standing in the way of peace in the party.”
“It is a known fact that despite Lamido,s limited education, party politics has exposed him beyond his mental capacity.
“The former Governor of Jigawa state is old enough to resolve the crisis and bring peace to PDP instead of playing his current divisive role.
“The Party and Atiku should be wary of him as an unfriendly friend. Recall he was one of those who sold Jigawa to APC in 2015 and hasn’t been able to win ward election to date.
“It is sad to note that after the PDP convention and presidential primaries, Lamido has stood against internal crises resolution moves and has been fanning embers of discord.

“It is sad to note that his tenure as Governor of Jigawa State is best remembered for the corruption that rocked the state culminating in his arrest and shameful arraignment with his two sons on allegations of siphoning over 50 billion from the State treasury.
“He is the first former Governor in Nigeria Politics to be charged to court with his two sons by EFCC.
“Sule Lamido should allow peace to reign in PDP and play the role of an old man genuinely desirous of Peace in the Party. We need to remind him that he is not the National Publicity Secretary of the Party. He should shut up and let Peace reign,” the statement read.
