Former Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, has made shocking revelations about ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s true intentions regarding his successor.
In a recent interview, Lamido disclosed that Buhari never wanted Bola Tinubu to succeed him as President.
Lamido claimed that Buhari had his eyes on a different candidate, Ahmed Lawan, the former Senate President.
He also stated that Buhari didn’t trust his then-Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, to take over the reins.
According to Lamido, Tinubu’s emergence as President was a result of his own efforts and determination.
He described Tinubu as a “daring and self-made man” who didn’t owe his victory to anyone, including Buhari.
Lamido also criticized Buhari’s lack of courage in pushing for his preferred candidate, stating that his calculations were “absurd” and didn’t take into account the complexities of Nigerian politics.
Lamido said: “You have done eight years for the North and you wanted another Northerner for another eight years?! No. Maybe later but there are some dynamics which you can’t alter, not in Nigeria of today.
“The president of Nigeria, after being in office for eight years, lacked the courage to push through his anointed choice. He was there at the convention and Tinubu that he never liked, he never believed in emerged. Tinubu knows that his victory wasn’t from Buhari, therefore, he owes him nothing.”
