Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was created out of anger, malice, and bitterness.
He noted that APC was never a serious political party.
The former governor stated this in chapter 16, page 421 of his autobiography: “Being True To Myself”, which was unveiled to the public on May 13th.
Recall that that the ex-Jigawa governor, one of the founding fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said he was shocked when he got word that his PDP colleagues had joined the opposition ahead of the 2015 elections.
He added that he did not hesitate to distance himself from their decision.
“I once had cause to explain to some members of the public after the APC was formed, that it was created out of anger, malice and hatred. It was not and has never been a serious political party; its proponents were only parochial scavengers, who see politics as a huge enterprise.
“In 1999, we had the PDP, AD and APP as the three major national parties and the AD and APP jointly fielded Olu Falae against PDP’s candidate, Obasanjo, who won the election.
“The AD/APP alliance later dissolved into the ANPP, but they lost the elections; it was these losers that later came together to establish the APC.
“What the APC did was to turn history upside down and promote a so-called ‘Mr. Integrity’ and hoodwinked Nigerians with false tags,” he stated.
