Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State, has said no matter what, former president Olusegun Obasanjo will remain their father in PDP either he tore his membership card or not. He said so many of his sons are in power right now, courtesy the elder statesman, which also includes the president and he knows the former president is only angry with some of them, hence his exit from the party. But they will continue to beg him to forgive them. His words;
“Baba is more than a party man. He is an icon, a national symbol and a leader and an inventor, a creator of all the institutions today in Nigeria from the presidency to the governors who are his own sons, are all his creations. And so, when a father is angry with his own children, we will only say we are sorry to him. But then we cannot be renounced for whatever it is. Continue...
“No matter what we are, we may not be able to live up to his expectations. We might have made some mistakes, but abandoning us is not the solution because the country is first before anything else. So, he is our baba even up to the president. Baba is our baba no matter what. He is angry with us, but then, what do we do? He gave us the life at a time when Nigerians were fighting us, he stood for us.
“Since 2011, in 2007, he stood firm for us. He is our father. And so, if we made some mistakes, we are only human because we are heading human institutions. And I think by the time he reflects, how could he abandon his own children like that. Wherever we are, we are right in his heart. He feels for us, he cares for us,” he said.
