A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Alhaji Sule Lamido has attributed the spate of killings in the country to injustice and bad governance.
Lamido, who met with the Forum of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders yesterday in Abuja, told journalists at the end of the meeting that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government had failed on its mandate, hence the prevailing security challenges in the country.
The former governor of Jigawa State said, “The culture of governance is deteriorating because of absence of justice which should be the anchor of governance but is not in Nigeria anymore.
“That is why you are seeing all these kidnappings, Boko Haram, killings in Taraba, Adamawa, Zamfara, Sokoto and all over Nigeria. This country is not being run according to law and order; there is nothing like justice in Nigeria. Therefore, Nigerians feel that this country is not good anymore.”
He accused the APC government of also trying to bury the contributions of Nigeria’s founding fathers, adding that “Before Buhari there was integrity, there was Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo, Aminu Kano, Azikiwe, these are people of honour and integrity. He has never for once paid tributes to our founding fathers.”
Earlier, President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigo, John Nwodo, who spoke on behalf of the Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum, said, “Our people are deeply upset by the state of affairs in the country. Our country is at a crossroad.
“We seek restructuring of Nigeria to address teething problems confronting us. We seek answers to how your policies will address all these.”
