Sule Lamido, the man that brought Jigawa out of the woods to limelight. The man that transformed Dutse from a mere village to City. TUALAY BABA.

So his enemies only succeeded in making him even more popular.

Now government will think twice before arresting opposition

HAH:
The governor really goofed, the arrest of Sule Lamido drew sympathy to him but truth be told Sule Lamido is not loved in the entire north may be his state where he has modestly performed as governor.

The person to beat to be president from the north post Buhari is Kwankwaso, mainly due to his performance while he was governor of kano, he is a no nonsense man, he stood with the masses during GEJ maladministration, he is very much loved in kano a state that can almost produce total vote of some region, he is relatively well educated and a dogged politician

Lolz
I agree with your theory, partially though.
The political clomate in kano and jigawa are intertwined, howbeit very distinct
Kano politics depends alot on affiliation, achievement and relevance after stepping aside from power. Kwankwaso is rapidly losing grip due to his successors ambition and plots. His senatorial hold keeps his relevance slightly alive but his deference from the central govt will ultimately seal his fate. If the mood of the state favors his choice, lucky him. If not, tor.
Jigawa on the other hand, political prowess depends alot on the motions of the central govt and kano. Most of the bigwigs are based in and from kano. And the people would rather support the central govt than choose legacy. Sule Lamido plays his cards like a pro. He is a very respected voice in kano and his voice over jigawa is pretty resounding. The only issue is jigawa will not vote him if he defers even slightly from the central govt. His legacy simply means nothing to them. His option now is to pray PMB doesnt consider re-election or endorse a particular candidate. Cos them jigawa folks are just up for APC die.

I used to be a strong beleiver in Sule Lamido. But I changed my mind whrn I settled down to look closer. So, if I had to choose between Lamido and Kwankwaso, I ll choose Kwankwaso

Is former governor nah.

Yeah, ur right
Sule played the ultimate black jack card.
His arrest has put him back into national limelight.
I remeber he used to walk the streets of dutse, stroll into sites that werent even state govt owned. This endeared him to the people.
Badaru was ill adviced. Ignoring him woild have done a lesser damage. Too bad.

The next president from the North

yarimo:
PDP and paying of supporters for rallies are like 5 and 6

Tell me how much this will cost even at 1 Kobo per person.

Wondering why the APC and the Jigawa state Governor are having sleepless nights over Alhaji Sule Lamido?


This grassroot politician is well loved by his people, a core Obasanjo ally and Former Minister under the former, Lamido is today an institution in Northern Nigeria, it appears the attempt to rubbish his reputation and destroy his political career with draconian bail conditions & persecution has only served to bolster his popularity especially among the neglected and exploited in the North.

It appears the Northern Youths are no more interested in the the imaginary 5000 naira stipend, the 2 million Ghost jobs and other empty promises, hence their switch of allegiance to the leader of the Talakawas ( downtrodden).

This crowd gathered just to escort him from the court home after he was granted bail


Happy viewing

May God Help us to Help Ourselves

APC never see anything, the way dem go uproot them come 2019, dem go dey shocked pass shocker.

Sule lamido was a good governor during his tenure.

This man gather crowd not be small
You too much

slawomir:
not surprised. this is how northerners celebrate their own even if the celebrant is a nuisance.
northerners are not patriotic to the nation. they are only patriotic to any leader from their region or anybody from their region that they perceive as a potential political leader.
pathetic people

...and d 'southerners' are so patriotic to the nation, thereby hating their own, abi? (Ibori & Nnamdi etc). Truth is, what both North and South share is their hopeless support for corrupt & irresponsible "leaders"! Criminals are unfortunately celebrated in this country.

I said it sometimes back that,it a muses me when people say buhari's popularity in the north is unmatched or can't be matched,but what I know for sure is,take away the media propaganda n wash up,allow a level ground n true freedom of expression n see how buhari will easily be revealed in his true colours n reduced to the insignificant, time shall tell.

tuniski:

He wasn't on the ballot in 2015. And the election of 2015 was seen it the conservative north as ethno-religious renaissance! They are gang up against a come enemy GEJ. 2019 will be completely different cos it will be north V north!

There were other elections held in 2015. I wasn't referring to the presidential election.

SalamRushdie:
He is only popular for his northern gullible folks and not the rest of us
.As a matter of fact we don't want any useless northern president again because their primitive nature always sets us back

Really, i guess the Western world likes Primitive? and left jonathan for Buhari or the Head of Christians in England that extolled Buhari likes primitive people? Shut up and tell yourself the truth, GEJ stole us blind that is why we are backward today....

Behold Nigerian here comes your next president

The truth is that Buhari instituted hopelessness and corrupt in Nigeria the day he overthrew the govt of Shagari
