He claimed the APC was responsible for the resurgence of killings in the country and also said President Muhammadu Buhari came into power unprepared.

He said: “APC has only succeeded in robbing its citizens of their rights and the dividend of democracy, but has also made hunger, poverty and insecurity to persist in the country.

“Nigeria is not only for Fulani alone but for both Christians and Muslims. The country remains indivisible and the current insecurity situation is a pointer to the fact that APC has failed and is solidly behind the killings.”

Lamido also accused the president of using the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to intimidate opposition.

The PDP chieftain expressed confidence that the opposition party will take over power in 2019.

Meanwhile, about 10,000 youths reportedly signed to endorse the former governor of Jigawa state, Sule Lamido, to be presidential candidate of PDP for the forthcoming 2019 election.
