A former Jigawa State governor and presidential candidate hopeful, Alh. Sule Lamido has revealed he believes he is most qualified to emerge as the PDP flag bearer in the 2019 presidential elections.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, stated this in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state, where he led his campaign team on a courtesy visit to Governor David Umahi.

He further disclosed that despite his aspirations, he wasn’t desperate to become the country’s president but his desire is borne out of the desire to serve Nigeria.

“I will administer a new direction for Nigeria if nominated because I aspire to unite Nigerians and make the country prosperous and secure.”

“I believe that I am qualified to win the party’s nomination because I am a party man by history and character with the party giving me everything I am in life.”

“The party discovered me from my obscure village in Jigawa, made me its state chairman and after I lost initial bids to become the state governor, made me Nigeria’s foreign affairs minister during a period of its pariah status.”

“The party further made me the state governor and I want to presently pay it and the country back with selfless service that would unite, reconcile and prosper the citizens.We are around nine aspirants jostling for the position presently but the emphasis should be on the nomination of the best man that would be seen as the country’s torch bearer.”

“The party is looking upon its governors for direction and as the convention to pick its candidate approaches, it should concentrate on reclaiming the confidence reposed in it by Nigerians.”
