Lamido who was in Kaduna on Saturday, May 14, 2016 for the North West PDP congress held at the trade fair complex, said his happiness is that every finger is pointing at him for the 2019 presidential race.

“APC cannot gather this kind of crowd without crises,” Sule Lamido said adding, “The North West has always been PDP except for what happened in 2015.”

“But as am talking to you, there is no APC in the North West zone. The eyes of the people have opened. Can APC gather this crowd? If they made effort to get something close to this, it may result to killing,” Lamido said.

“I thank God every hand is pointing at me for 2019. The PDP family has gathered peacefully and that is our trademark in this country. Each time APC member gathered all you hear is killings. But the PDP family is peaceful. There is love and happiness among the PDP family.”

The former Jigawa State Governor, Lamido, said the PDP is strategizing to rescue Nigeria from what he described as APC mismanagement of governance.

“It is very clear that APC does not have the capacity to rule this country. We have commenced the process of reclaiming power. Nigerians now know the difference,” Lamido added.
