The Jigawa state Governor, Sule Lamido has rejected the endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election by the North-West zone of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
LEADERSHIP reports that the Jigawa state Deputy governor, Alhaji Ahmad Mahmud, on Monday addressed a press conference on behalf of the governor. At the press conference he said, "The endorsement of Jonathan as the party’s presidential flagbearer is wrong and we hereby disassociate the government and the people of the state from such.
"We in Jigawa were not part of the decision taken by the PDP to endorse President Goodluck Jonathan as its president in 2015, and this has clearly embarrassed us as PDP members as well as people of the state.
"We would not be blind-folded into such agreement in spite of our unprecedented support to our great party, the PDP, and its leadership, however the endorsement of Jonathan as the 2015 flagbearer is done with our consent and we would not support it.
"The PDP government of Jigawa had, in 2011, supported President Jonathan’s bid which caused the people to castigate us by way of calling us names; however, the president and federal government have not in any way redeemed their campaign promises to the people of the state, for which we see no reason whatsoever to support him again.”
