As the 2015 general elections draw closer, organisations, groups and individuals have continued to urge Jigawa state governor , Sule Lamido and his Rivers state counterpart, Rotimi Ameachi to declare their intension to contest the 2015 presidential election.
The fresh charge on the duo came from Coordinator, Lamido/Amaechi Campaign Organisation, Alhaji Bilya Mohammed Lawal, who did not only support the call on Lamido and Ameachi to join the presidential race, but appealed to Nigerians to rally round them to provide quality leadership for the country.
It would be recalled that the Lamido/Amaechi campaign vehicles, posters and bill boards were sighted in Kaduna not quite long ago though he denied knowledge of it..
In a statement issued in Kaduna yesterday, Lawal posited that the candidature of Lamido and Amaechi was desirable “because Nigeria is in dire need of true servant-leaders to move the nation forward.”
According to him, “presenting Governor Lamido as credible candidate for 2015 is the surest way for the PDP to retain the Presidency, just as I feel strongly that if the PDP is serious about a President that can take Nigeria to the next level and keep her at par with other developed countries, Sule Lamido is the right choice.”
The Lamido Campaign Coordinator equally lauded the emergence of Kaduna State chapter of the New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) under the leadership of Alhaji Yaro Makama Rigachikun, describing it as “a healthy political development.”
