Name, bring killer politicians to justice, Lamido challenges Buhari

A presidential aspirant on the Peoples Democratic Party’s platform, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to name and prosecute politicians behind the incessant killings across the country.
He also expressed confidence that his party will return to power in 2019, having learnt from its past errors.
Lamido, a former Jigawa state governor, made his position known at a media parley in Kano, following the claim by the Presidency that it has the dossiers of those behind the killing of innocent Nigerians.
“President Buhari said ‘I know those politicians, who are sponsoring these killings,’ he said so, as the Commander-in-Chief.
Now, have they been arrested? Who are they? Name them.
People are dying every day, and he knows the killers and they have not been arrested.
You press men, please ask him (Buhari) who they are, he should arrest them,” the PDP chieftain said.
While insisting that the governing All Progressives Congress has failed Nigerians, the presidential aspirant declared that the Buhari-led government has failed Nigerians on its three-point agenda of security, economy and fighting corruption.
Assessing the APC-led government, Lamido said, “on security, you see, before it was Boko Haram, it has now gone beyond Boko Haram.
It is now inter-tribal, it is between Fulani and Fulani; it is between Hausa and Hausas, between Igbos and Igbos.
In Ebonyi it is there, in Zamfara it is there and in Sokoto, it is there.
“So, you see, today, we are under siege.
It means all they key security chiefs appointed by this government have failed to deliver.
Nigerians are now sleepless, they are watching, they have so many things in their minds—whether to go for what they know is safety, security and prosperity or to go for this culture of violence which is now defiling Nigeria as a country.” “The three factors that they used during their campaign; economy, security and fighting corruption are all zero.
How on earth can Buhari go to Danjuma Goje’s house to beg him—Goje who has been arraigned in court! And Buhari preferred to go to him, by that, the judge should be very, very careful, because it means they cannot convict Goje.
“If Oshiomole, after all these noise and ranting will go to Saraki and Tambuwal and beg them, after calling PDP thieves and what have you, which means their fight against corruption is defeated.”
