Former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido has reignited his long-standing feud with former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami, while also addressing criticism of his continued stay in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and ongoing corruption charges.

Speaking in an interview with DCL Hausa yesterday, Lamido recalled that Malami, during his tenure as Minister of Justice, initiated legal proceedings against him.

“When Abubakar Malami was Minister of Justice, he took me to court and accused me of being a thief. But today, it is clear that what he owns, I do not own. Do I have a hotel in Birnin Kudu or houses in Abuja?” Lamido asked.

The former governor also dismissed calls from critics urging him to leave the PDP, questioning what he described as selective scrutiny of political associations.

“Why is there concern because I have not left the PDP? Many PDP members maintain relationships with politicians in other parties, especially the APC, and nobody questions them,” he said.

Citing examples, Lamido referenced the political movements of former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, and meetings involving President Bola Tinubu.

“If Shekarau visits Tinubu, it is not considered news. Party leaders and governors are doing the same. Yet, when it comes to me, it becomes an issue,” he added.

Despite reaffirming his membership of the PDP, Lamido hinted at the possibility of strategic alliances.

“I am still in the PDP, but if I see another party whose ideology aligns with mine, we can form an alliance and work together,” he stated.

Addressing the long-running corruption allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Lamido expressed frustration with the case’s duration. “It has been 10 years, and I am still in court. This started during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan,” he said. Lamido further alleged that the case was politically motivated, claiming it was initiated to block his presidential ambition at the time. “Jonathan started this allegation because he heard I wanted to contest. It was to stop me,” he alleged. On internal divisions within the PDP, particularly regarding the influence of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Lamido maintained that his position is guided by principle rather than personal interest. “There is self-interest, and there is truth. I stand for the truth. The question is: where does the PDP stand legally and in the eyes of the electoral body? That is where I stand, as a PDP member,” he said.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has postponed his scheduled trip to Iperu, Ogun State, which was set for April 2 to flag off operations at the Gateway International Cargo Airport.

The President will instead travel first to Jos, the capital of Plateau State, to commiserate with the government and people of the state over recent gun attacks that resulted in the loss of lives.

Following the visit to Plateau, the President is expected to proceed to Lagos to observe Good Friday.

On Saturday, April 4, President Tinubu will travel to Ogun State, where he is scheduled to commission the Gateway International Cargo Airport and inaugurate two commercial aircraft intended for the export and import of goods.

He will also inaugurate the new building of the Federal Operations Unit of the Nigerian Customs Service and its operational vehicles.

The President will then return to Lagos to continue the Easter break. During this period, he is expected to commission several infrastructure projects executed by the Lagos State Government under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu. These include the Ojota/Opebi Link Bridge, the Lagos State Geographic Information System Building, a Multi-Agency Complex named after the President, and a school complex.

Before returning to Abuja, President Tinubu is scheduled to visit Bayelsa State on April 10 to commission some completed projects by Governor Douye Diri.

The revised itinerary was announced in a statement issued by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information & Strategy.

Today, I have directed the Accountant-General of the Federation to establish a special account for a fund dedicated to those who serve, those wounded in the line of duty, and the families of those who have paid the ultimate price.

As a personal commitment, all my salaries since assuming office will be paid into this account as seed funding, irrespective of existing insurance and welfare schemes for members of our armed forces. This fund will directly support those who have lost their limbs, and the widows, widowers, and children of those who laid down their lives in service to our dear country.
