Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alh. Sule Lamido on Saturday met privately with PDP Presidential Candidate and Former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar in Dubai.The leader of the 'Talakawas', Lamido was accompanied by Alhaji Mustapha Sule Lamido and Abubakar Sule Lamido.
Earlier today, Atiku made headlines after criticising and urging President Muhammadu Buhari to 'stop his campaign of calumny against opposition and the Judiciary'. Below is the statement, in part, signed by Atiku's media adviser, Paul Ibe;
"The administration has been groping in the dark since 2015, the reason majority of Nigerians decided not to reward their failures during the February 23 presidential poll consequently leading to the heist that characterized the conduct of that poll."
"The other plausible reason they didn't deem it fit to respond to the report is because Atiku Abubakar has yet to make a remark on the report. If the only reason why the Buhari administration will react to the affliction it has brought on Nigerians is for Atiku to call the nation's attention to how bad things have gone in the country under the slumber of General Buhari, Atiku will more than always, be ready to stand and speak up for the millions of countrymen and women who have become victims of his (Buhari's) misrule and grand cluelessness."
"A Commander-in-Chief, who fits the bill will not act unconstrained about reports from a reputable media organization on welfare and wellbeing of troops at the frontline of combat. Shamefully, however, up till this moment, the Buhari administration won't cause even a blinker on the damning report. Like is the case with other dysfunctional aspects of the system, his (Buhari's) administration prefers to live in denial, relying on propaganda - the only machine that they know how to operate without a glitch."
"We need to restate that Atiku Abubakar respects the practical purpose of the judiciary as an arm of government saddled with the responsibility of dispensing justice. Therefore, for the Buhari administration to call out the judiciary on how they might choose to do their job is not only an emotional blackmail to the bench, it is also very disrespectful to the integrity of the honourable justices of the court of law."
