Lamido claimed that the country’s growing problems are borne out of the lust for political and sectional gains rather than national interests as exhibited by leaders of the two dominant parties.
He said:
“Governors of parties, governors from the South coming together saying they want progress. If you look at Nigeria from their point of view, they seek their own interests, your own people, your own people, conversely other people have their interests. Political parties should not discriminate, it should be for all Nigerians not their personal interests."
“We focus too much on political power, we put too much influence on political power and in so doing abandon the real problems facing Nigeria. That is what APC did in 2014. They said so many things about Nigeria, they have gotten there now, where are we? We are worse off.
“If PDP is not very careful, if we begin to explore all these divisions in terms of my own time, my own region and so on, by the time we get there, if we don’t get the process right through a very credible, open, inclusive, vibrant, we will be worse than APC.”
