“We have been wailing all along alone, we all have been wailing that something is wrong with the country, but we were demonized and maligned. I was called a hooligan.

“First, I am a Nigerian citizen and therefore, this government is my own government. When you criticize the Federal Government, you are demonized, blackmailed.
“Atiku (Mohammed) left APC and Baba is now talking. In America in the olden days when they went into a mine, they took with them a canary into the mines not because they wanted the bird to sing for them but because it had thin respiratory organs.

“And when the oxygen reduced, the bird would start shaking. It was a signal to the miners of danger and the miners would leave the mine. So the Nigerian canary is now screaming, the air is suffocating and therefore, we have to simply find our way out.
Lamido stressed that Baba (Chief Olusegun Obasanjo) came about the right time to speak the mind of the people of Nigeria.
He noted that the three years of the ruling party has only inflicted pain on Nigerians but then lauded his party saying that PDP has done wonderfully well between its rule during 1999 and 2015 rule.
Lamido further said.
“We are cursed because we are being led by hate heroes. With three years of APC misrule, you can see the way they have unleashed pain on Nigerians.
He added that the earlier freedom Nigeria experienced was bequeathed by the PDP to the country.
