A former governor of Jigawa state, Alhaji Sule Lamido has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of causing disunity in Nigeria since it took over in 2015.
Lamido, spoke on Wednesday at the formal inauguration of a 29-man reconciliation committee of the state People’s Democratic party (PDP) held in Dutse.
The former Governor said the APC had before taking over accused us (PDP members) of breeding ‘Boko Haram’, corruption and all forms of evil.
He said, “even though they accused us of Boko Haram, today a more daring criminality of banditry and kidnapping is being perpetuated under their nose without any solution in sight”.
“People are being maim, kill in their homes, towns and villages completely sacked while their women are subjected to utter humiliation under the watchful eyes of those in power today”, Lamido said.
Lamido charged the reconciliation committee to be just and fair in their approach to agrieved members in order for their work to be effective.
He said, “when making the effort of reconciling we have to forgive and let go of our perceived grievance to enable the healing process to take place for the sake of the country”, he added.
Meanwhile, the former governor appealed to aggrieved members to put the party first and remember that they were once chosen as either political appointees or elected members over and above some other members that might not have been happy at that time.
Also speaking, the state chairman of the PDP, Dr. Babandi Ibrahim said the party will do everything possible to ensure that every aggrieved member is contacted.
