Lamido can’t defeat Buhari in 2019 – LG boss

Dutse

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won’t take the risk of handling its presidential ticket to Alhaji Sule Lamido to contest the 2019 presidential election, according to the Birninkudu Local Government Area APC chapter chairman, Alhaji Sani Abdu.
The chairman said the former governor of Jigawa State is a paper weight compared to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, whose popularity and proven integrity far outweigh whatever Lamido may represent.
Alhaji Sani Abdu, who was reacting to the former Jigawa State governor’s claim that he would defeat President Mohammad Buhari come 2019, described the boast as wild-goose chase.
“Even the Lamido’s political party, the PDP will not take the risk of giving its presidential ticket to someone like Alhaji Sule Lamido to contest for such important seat in the country.
“The party knows that President Buhari will use him to wipe the floor because he lacks everything that he needed to give the incumbent president a run for the presidency. In fact, Lamido should first secure the PDP ticket before thinking of beating Buhari and he knows that it is almost impossible to secure both”, he said.
Alhaji Abdu said the former governor neither has the political clout and sagacity nor the charisma to outwit President Buhari in any political contest in the country and therefore described the claim as the most unrealistic joke of the year.
“Lamido himself knows that he is joking to think of defeating President Muhammadu Buhari in a 2019 presidential race because Lamido lacks credibility to compare himself with Buhari.
He does not also the qualities Buhari possesses in abundance and therefore can’t measure up to the expectation of the Nigerian electorate”, he stated adding that Lamido has always bragged and deceived himself about years of experience in politics.
“But he fails to note that it is not all about how long one has been in politics but how well one has over the years behaved and achieved that are important yardsticks that make experience truly counts”, he said.
