Lamido Alleges Massive Corruption In Buhari’s Villa

Former Jigawa state Governor Sule Lamido has alleged that there is massive corruption in Aso Rock, Nigeria’s Presidential Villa.

Lamido made this comment in Lokoja during a meeting with the Kogi state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party, on Wednesday, August 15.

At the meeting, the PDP chieftain stressed that the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, is bereft of agenda for the people it is governing.

Lamido, a PDP Presidential aspirant for the 2019 elections, alleged that the ruling party had succeeded in impoverishing many Nigerians within three years.

His words: “I was ashamed when I entered Kogi state; when I look into the eyes of many Kogites and Nigerians, it was clearly written in their faces that all is not well.”

“They said they are fighting corruption in this government, which is not true. I can tell you that there is massive corruption at the presidential villa.

“What our party succeeded in building for our nation, Nigeria, in the last 16 years is currently under threat, all because of the APC-led government.

“PDP remains the party to contend with come 2019. The party respects the right of every Nigerian, unlike what we are having now,” Lamido added.

Also, the former governor promised to run an all-inclusive government if voted into power, come 2019 even as he called on Nigerians to rise, unite, and rescue the country from “injustice meted” on them by the APC administration.

Lamido also sought the support of members of the party’s exco ahead of the PDP elective convention during the meeting.
