Why I am supporting ADC – Sule Lamido

Former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has said he is supporting the opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to save democracy in Nigeria.

Lamido stated this while addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters during an empowerment programme at the party’s headquarters in Dutse.

He said he joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a bold move to rescue Nigeria’s democracy from collapse, citing increasing abuse of power, suppression of opposition and erosion of democratic values by the All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration.

“Our coming together under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Senator David Mark is for the unity and progress of the country not for selfish interest.

“Any patriotic Nigerian who has Nigeria at heart must come together to gives his contribution to unseat the present administration inorder save the country and Nigerians from the difficult situation.

“Our duty now is to to advice and guide for the betterment of the country and brighter future of Nigeria,”; he said.

Lamido commended Jigawa PDP federal lawmakers for living up to expectations and promoting the values and principles of the PDP.

On his part, the senator representing Jigawa South-West Senatorial District, Mustapha Khabeeb said over 3000 constituents benefited from the empowerment program.
