Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa state, northwest Nigeria, has quelled all speculations about his quitting the Peoples Democratic Party because of his frustrated presidential ambition.

‘’Contrary to the claims by some people that there are crises in PDP, I assure you that there are no crises and I will never leave it. As democrats, we shout; after shouting, we can come back to reconcile our differences. I am a product of PDP, born by PDP, dignified by PDP, how can I leave the party that is my sweat and my blood?.

“So, I can’t leave the house I built and move to a house that is not mine.’’

Lamido described PDP as the most consistent party in the last 15 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria.

‘’PDP is consistent and constant throughout this period.

Meanwhile, the party has expressed satisfaction with the performance of Lamido in Jigawa.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr Olisa Metuh, made the commendation when he inspected some projects executed by the state government in Dutse as part of the PDP project tour of states controlled by the state.

Metuh said that the party was particularly impressed by the world-class International Airport constructed by the state government in Dutse.

He said that the airport would boost the economy of the state, adding that ‘’PDP will show case the achievements of the Lamido-led administration.

“We are proud of Lamido’s performance and we are going to tell the world what Lamido did in Jigawa, especially the magnificent airport.’’

The PDP spokesman also commended the state government for executing other people-oriented projects in the areas of education, healthcare, potable water supply, agriculture, youth and women empowerment, among others.

He urged PDP supporters in the state to rally round the PDP administration in the state and to remain focused in order to ensure victory of the party in 2015 election.
