The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, North West zone yesterday declared that Jigawa State governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has the right to seek presidential election under the party in 2015.
North-West PDP Chairman, Ambassador Ibrahim Musa Kazaure, disclosed this while fielding questions from reporters on the suspension of Sokoto State governor, Dr. Aliyu Wamako, by the National Working Committee, NWC, of the party.
Kazaure while describing Governor Wamako's suspension as unfortunate, called on PDP leaders to save the party from the looming danger ahead.
His words: "We would have done wide consultation because we have enemies within. PDP is a party not a club, it has its constitution. North-West is the largest PDP zone in the country, even in the National Assembly. We have seven governors in the zone, so it is not a zone you can play with."
Kazaure warned the South-South; "The South- South that is talking should understand that it was somebody that died and somebody took over. Do you know what will happen tomorrow? You don't know.
"Only God knows what will happen tomorrow even if I said you will be the king of your town tomorrow, it is not possible because we don't decide the future of this country. Whatever God decides is what will happen.
"Governor Sule Lamido is a Nigerian and has all the qualities to contest any position in Nigeria the Constitution of Nigeria gave him that mandate to contest any election.
"So it is not my view but the views of Nigerians. Go to Jigawa State and compare it under the present leadership, then you can tell me the difference."
