Former president, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo yesterday threw his weight
behind the speculated presidential
ambition of governor of Jigawa State,
Malam Sule Lamido describing the
governor as qualified to led the
country.
Chief Obasanjo stated this yesterday
while fielding question from newsmen
in Dutse Jigawa state during his one
day visit to the state.
He said going by Sule Lamido’s record
of performance it shows that he is
capable to hold any position and can
stand shoulder to shoulder with any
body.
“Based on his track record can you say
he is not competent?, he is competent,
he can stand shoulder to shoulder with
any one in this nation”.
Chief Obasanjo further stated that the
rational behind supporting girl child
education in Jigawa State is to train
and bring them to be good leaders.
“Our hope is to produce future leaders
who would grow up with one Nigeria in
their mind, committed and patriotic,
those who understand that self is not
good enough but us rather than I and
that is the kind of leadership we need”
Obasanjo also congratulated Sule
Lamido for successfully building one
of the world class international
airports within a short period of time
describing the project as one of the
critical infrastructures needed to
foster social and economic
development.
