http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/lamido-accuses-buhari-of-divisive-campaigns/197882/ I am a frontline critic of Buhari but I try to avoid calling him a bigot or Muslim Fanatic because for me I personally feel that topic alone clouds other very poor qualities of Buhari which is the fact that the man does not really offer much in terms of leadership, brilliance, grasp of the issues or solution on how to move the country forward. But when Sule Lamido says this about Buhari then we have to listen. Hausa Fulani muslim Northerners are not known to criticise fellow Muslims on issues of Faith and ethnicity. Yet Lamido can not be described as one of Jonathan's staunchest ally. But the allegations that Buhari campaigns in the North as the defender of the Islamic faith but comes to the South to preach about National Unity really needs to be explored. These are very serious allegations! Now Lamido went on to criticise Jonathan Goodluck because of the comments of Edwin Clarke and Asari Dokubo. I agree that Asari and Clarke needs to be called to order but there is a difference between ethnic warlords making threats on behalf of the candidates and a Presidential candidate directly playing religious card openly in the North while saying something else in the South. This is serious 185 Likes 15 Shares |

It simply tells you Buhari talks from both sides of His mouth,and is "2-faced". I was shocked when I read that Buhari wouldn't probe past leaders if He wins. What then is all the anti-corruption mantra all about? Well,my guess is as good as yours. To probe past leaders,He'd have to probe pdp and apc past leaders and because He can't afford to send people like Tinubu to jail,it's therefore best,to allow sleeping dogs rest. Tells you so much about the character of the so called anti-corruption crusader. Any fight against corruption that would not bring previous offenders to book,is a sham. 136 Likes 13 Shares |

If truly Buhari did what you just accused him of, the whole country's newspapers would have printed it for the world to see. Lamido just shut up already. Buhari has not even conducted a single political campaign in the North yet and you are already lying against the peoples general in order to impress GEJ. Why the lies Mr. Lamido the thiefing Jigawa governor? I have never seen anywhere where Buhari did what you accused of him of doing. By the may Mr. Lamido, what about the corruption cases against your two sons running into over 9 billion Naira with fake contract money paid into 19 bank accounts? I Know you are doing everything possible to make you look like a good cop in front tof GEJ, an Ijaw man for that matter you thought was stupid and was going to bow down for you to become president. it is now glaring you are fighting for the quash of corruption cases against you and your thiefing sons.

Op you are a LIAR and a dubious fellow for not posting the who article. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/lamido-accuses-buhari-of-divisive-campaigns/197882/ Governor Sule Lamido • Says ex-head of state, Jonathan are Nigeria’s albatross •APC promises violence-free polls Abdullahi Rabiu in Dutse and Onyebuchi Ezigbo Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State has accused the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, of divisive campaigns in the northern and southern parts of the country. Stating this yesterday at the Malam Aminu Kano Triangle during the official declaration of the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state and a former chief of staff, Malam Aminu Ibrahim Ringim, alongside his running mate, Dr Nurudeen Mohammad, Lamido noted that a critical look at the situation on the ground exposes people like Buhari as being insincere in both intent and purpose. Elaborating, Lamido alleged that when Buhari talks to the electorate in the North, he usually plays up the religious card, but once he is in the South, he plays it down by harping on the unity of Nigeria. Lamido wondered why Buhari had gone out of his way to select a Christian as his running mate and what this portends, adding: “Why then are our people vilified and maligned because they refuse to vote for a Muslim as their president and have opted for a Christian? “If not, why is it that he chose a Christian as his running mate and shunned the Muslim community, then he turns round to tell the people in the North that his contest is anchored on promoting and guiding their ideological faith.” The governor was of the opinion that “so long as we want Nigeria to get out of her present predicament, we must be sincere in the way we practise democracy so as to avoid a bloodbath and the rampant killing of Nigerians because of the interest of a few individuals." Not stopping at blaming solely the former military head of state, Lamido said the main problem of Nigeria today politically speaking is the duo of President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP and his main rival, Buhari, who will be squaring up against each other in the 2015 presidential election. Lamido said except they are ready to clearly distinguish between their interests and the corporate existence of Nigeria as an indivisible entity, the country would be heading for doom. He said Nigeria is at a crossroads and blamed the two personalities for the impending danger ahead of the nation. He warned that after the declaration of the winner of the 2015 presidential election, there could be mayhem if the provocative statements of the supporters of both candidates are anything to go by. According to him, “Buhari and Jonathan are the albatross of the nation due to their desperation to lead Nigeria at all cost." 26 Likes |

Lamido, who did not want to be seen as an alarmist, said: “Today a vote for either of them could lead Nigeria to an untimely division as well as push others to their early graves. “We have heard the devilish pronouncements of people like Edwin Clark and Dokubo Asari and Buba Galadima, among others who were predicting a bad end for the country should we Nigerians fail to a vote for either Jonathan or General Buhari and going by what their supporters are preaching, if either of them fails to scale through, it could destabilise Nigeria.” Lamido, however, hoped that Nigeria will survive the intrigues, adding that it was unfortunate that their supporters are preaching doom for the nation. He urged the Jigawa electorate, especially members of the PDP to vote for the candidates of their choice and told them not be intimidated or coerced into inappropriate decisions. Other candidates at the declaration rally were the three senatorial contenders who were handed the party’s flags to gun for their respective seats during the forthcoming elections. Also speaking, the Vice-Chairman, North-west of the PDP, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Kazaure, who represented the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Muazu, said the fact remains always that the PDP is still the party for the people of Nigeria. He described the huge crowd of PDP supporters in the state as an indication of victory for the party in the state, adding that its governorship candidate was just waiting for the time to be sworn in. Speaking earlier, Ringim, who spoke on behalf of other candidates, extolled the virtue of Lamido and described him as a role model. Meanwhile, APC has assured Nigerians and the international community that it will do all in its power to make sure that the 2015 general election is violence-free, saying the rising apprehension about the polls among the populace is inimical to the conduct of a successful election. In a statement issued yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party however said its efforts should be complemented by the PDP-led federal government, which has a propensity for using the security agencies to harass and intimidate the opposition and ordinary citizens. It also said the federal government should take all measures necessary to ensure that the elections are free, fair and credible, since rigging and other acts of electoral malfeasance constitute the immediate trigger for anger and violence during and after elections. “We have heard from Nigerians who are so afraid about possible violence during the forthcoming election that they are even willing to relocate to other countries until after the elections. But as the biggest opposition party in Nigeria and a major stakeholder in our nation’s democracy, we are assuring, on our part, that there will be no violence. “Though our party has no history of violence, we have commenced a nationwide effort to sensitise our members and supporters on the need to eschew rancour and embrace non-violent methods, even in the face of the kind of provocations to which we were subjected during the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections, when our members were needlessly harassed, arrested and detained by partisan security agencies acting under orders from the FG. “If the federal government allows a level playing field for all contestants, if the security agencies stop acting as the armed wing of the ruling PDP, if the electoral umpire will carry out its duties without fear, favour or bias and if citizens are allowed to exercise their franchise unmolested, the stage will be set for a non-violent, free, fair and credible polls. “In other words, the government has a major role to play in making the forthcoming polls peaceful. On our part, in addition to other efforts aimed at ensuring a peaceful election, we pledge to accept the result of an election that is not only free, fair, credible and transparent, but one that is also seen to be so. We hope other parties will make a similar pledge,” APC said. The party said it demonstrated, during its recent rancour-free and festive national convention in Lagos, that elections should be a celebration of democracy, rather than a moment of fear, violence and threat to lives. It said far from mere rhetoric, it had taken practical steps, as far back as May 2014, to work with the PDP to ensure violence-free polls in 2015. “Following up on a meeting of representatives of both parties in Washington, DC, US, April 7-8 2014 under the auspices of the CSIS Nigeria Election Forum, at which it was agreed that a joint meeting of both parties be convened to discuss and agree on the crucial issue of a code of conduct for the campaigns and the elections, we wrote a letter to the PDP suggesting a bipartisan meeting to address the issue. “The PDP agreed to the proposal and suggested that it should be expanded to include the leadership of other political parties in the country. However, problem with logistics meant that the meeting did not hold. “Even with the little time left for the election to hold, we strongly believe that a meeting of the leadership of the two political parties, the APC and the PDP, will send a powerful message to our compatriots and indeed the international community and douse the tension that is building up ahead of the election,” APC said. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/lamido-accuses-buhari-of-divisive-campaigns/197882/ 10 Likes |

I just know it that Buhari will lose again. He is nothing but a pretentious opportunist and closet terrorist sponsor who wants to cash in on the gullibility of some Nigerians in order to return power back to the North. Seriously look at this old man who can't articulate words properly and surrounded by recycled waste materials from PDP. The people shouting change, change, change should go look up the word in the dictionary, the very founding god-fathers and sponsors of the APC were all aggrieved members of the PDP, so what change are we talking about?. They are all six of one half a size of the other but clearly our president stands out for his astuteness and civility, just that he is a victim of gross sabotage from the imperialist-born-to-rule northerners that surrounds him. Interestingly some naive chums from the south are dimwitted they can't see what this is about. The north wants its own back into power even if it is a cow!. 89 Likes 3 Shares |

Why didn't he declare his support for Jonathan? Himself and Babangida Aliyu both has presidential ambitions. They both worked hard for GEJ in 2011, in the hope that Jonathan will keep to his words of not running in 2015. When Jonathan changed his mind, they were left to dangle and showed interest with APC, when they realized that Buhari will run again, they decided to stay put in PDP but no support for Jonathan. So the candidacy of Buhari to the two is a clog to their future aspirations. That is why Aliyu said in 2011; that Buhari presidency can mean exile for many of the northern elite like him. The are the people that engineered the riots of 2011. He needs to stop Buhari eventhough he cannot bring himself to support Jonathan either, because any Buhari momentum can easily sweep his legacy and base away in Jigawa against any future aspirations. Jonathan should be watchful of him. He is a very unreliable man you cannot trust. One of the first SDP leaders in 1993 along with Aneni and Jakande to not only abandoned June 12 within days but jump into Abacha government as a minister and declared the annulment as an act of God to the surprise of everybody. 61 Likes 3 Shares |

Eziachi: I dey gbadun you, sir.  Lamido is a pained man. He was thinking Jonathan wasn't going for second term but Jonathan gave him shock of his life. Lamido was going to go to APC but he couldn't do it due to corruption charges that he would have faced or Buhari's imminent emergence at APC. Lamido and Babangida Aliyu of Niger State have been all over the map for the past one year. This is the same Lamido who said Jonathan was like a mad man holding matches at a filling station. 26 Likes 1 Share |

Eziachi: We can speculate on Sule Lamido's intention. But regardless of his intentions the man has made a clear allegation which Nigerians must take seriously and investigate. Does Buhari play the religious card in the North while at the same time playing statesman in the South? Nigerians should search for the truth. Its very important we do. We live in the digital age, there are videos of Buhari's campaigns in the North and what he has been saying. even if it is in Hausa language am sure there are honest translators who can help. 33 Likes 1 Share |

These comments shape the mentality of the electorates who will start making trouble when they lose out in the election. The religious cards has been played everywhere,u may dispute the players but it can't be denied.
