Lead with fear of God, ex-Governor charges leaders

Lamido expressed worries over the killings in the country, advising that things must be done right to prevent more bloodshed.

Lamido gave the charge on Thursday when he visited Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta in Asaba.

“Leaders must have the fear of God; Nigeria is for all Nigerians and governance is for all.

“So, let us have love for Nigeria, love for each other, and then there will be trust, and when there is trust, things will work out very well,“he said.

“I am happy that our party is rediscovering itself after our successful convention in which the leaders were able to come out as one united family, committed to the future of the nation and the party.

“Our party is founded on love and commitment; we need to stay focused and sit down and take decisions as a party.

“We must start a relationship among our leaders to enable us talk about issues of our party and the nation, and reassure Nigerians that we are truly prepared to lead this nation and take it to greater heights,” Okowa said.

The governor called for support for the various organs of the party so as to achieve success, stressing: “our collective strength will move the party forward to victory”.
