A presidential aspirant under the platform of People’s Democratic Party, (PDP), Alhaji Sule Lamido, has advocated for proper federation and unity of Nigeria and harmonious coexistence of one another.
Lamido who stated this when he paid a courtesy visit to Benue State Governor Samuel Ortom said he was in the state to consult with his party and supporters in order to realize his ambition come 2019.
Sule Lamido noted that Nigeria had a long history of crisis, hence the need for the leaders to put human consideration above other parochial interests.
“We must uphold and stand up for brotherhood. We should be there for one other – northerners or southerners, easterners or westerners. No Nigerian should die. Our leaders must put human life first and not tribe,” he said.
He said Nigeria, being the symbol of the black racep role well.
“We must be mindful of what we do because whatever we do affects others,” he said.
The former Jigawa State Governor said he noted with sadness that the ruling All Progressive Congress, (APC) had introduced division leading to venomous agenda aimed at defrauding the country.
He said: “Today, there is blood everywhere. We can no longer sleep with our two eyes closed due to killings and kidnapping by undesirable elements nationwide.
“Democracy should address our needs and solve our problems and not imprison us because it is about freedom and rights.
“The APC has demonised and blackmailed the PDP but the APC is a party that strives on falsehood. PDP is the only party with the political history to keep Nigeria united.

“Those of them with chicken heart go to APC for sanctuary and to also be used to create division in the country.
“I share in anxiety of those who advocate that Nigeria should be restructured. APC is a party that strives on propaganda and the money they have stolen is so horrendous and they keep talking about corruption. But when we come back, we will install integrity in the system.”
Lamido who said that his aspiration was not desperation added: “We must work for a united Nigeria and secure the country.”
Welcoming the presidential aspirant, Governor Samuel Ortom said Nigeria had come a long way.
Represented by his deputy, Engr. Benson Abounu, he said too much politicking without measurable action was the cause of Nigeria’s underdevelopment.
Ortom who pledged Benue’s total support towards the realisation of his presidential ambition expressed the confidence that Lamido would turn the country around as he did to Jigawa State when he was governor.
