No matter how much I love Buhari, I can’t pray for his govt to succeed – Lamido

Sule Lamido, a former Governor of Jigawa State, has disclosed why he can’t pray for the success of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, government.

Lamido, an ex-presidential aspirant said he can’t pray for Buhari’s government because he’s from an opposition party.

He spoke during an interview with BBC Hausa.

“You can’t say in the past 60 years of our independence that there is no progress, there is,” he said.

“But, honestly, our leaders are not taking advantage of the natural resources we have in the country to make us progress and live better.”

The former Governor said it is now for Nigerians to weigh the Buhari administration and see the difference between the past and the present.

“I am from an opposition party, no matter how much I love Buhari or his cabinet, I can’t enter mosques and pray for him.

“People called us [PDP] thieves and voted for APC. So, it is left for them to judge now.

“If Buhari is doing good, they know and let him lead Nigeria forever, but if he is doing wrong, we are always there to come and takeover in order to do the right thing.”
