Sule Lamido, a former governor of Jigawa state, says Nigeria has become more divided under the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last five years.

Lamido spoke at the commissioning of Rumuji-Ibaa-Obele-Isiokpo road in Emohua LGA of Rivers, on Monday.

The former governor said hate and disunity are more prominent in the country, adding that “confusion and crisis” reign supreme under the APC.

“In the last five years of APC in government, Nigeria has become more divided. There is more hate and disunity between north and south, east and west, Muslim and Christians even… and ever, there are bigger and micro problems,” Lamido said.

“From top to bottom, it is all confusion and crisis.

Addressing Nyesom Wike, Rivers governor, he said: “So please, keep on inviting your people…even APC, call them here because only a leader like you and governors seem to be working together to restore trust in Nigeria.

“So please invite them, let them come. When we see you calling people, they come here and go back to their areas. This means there is hope in Nigeria.

“APC has disintegrated. There is no single job anywhere either in the north or south. What do you hear from any Nigerian president from the north? Nothing. So to ask: is the Nigerian president for the Nigerian people?

“Nigerian people are both in the north, in the south. They are both Igbos, Yorubas or Hausa, or Fulani. They are also Christians, they are also Muslims, so which means it is our common humanity which should be uniting us.”
