From Jigawa State in Nigeria, CEOAFRICA.com gathered that the governor of the state, Sule Lamido, has reiterated his commitment to champion acts against injustice and maginalisation of the masses, even if it worth going to jail after completing his tenure in 2015.

The governor stated this when he played host to members of the PDP Justice team under the leadership of Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje.

While welcoming the group to Government House in Dutse, Governor Lamido said he is not even keen about contesting for presidency in 2015.

"I am not bothered about sacking of ministers by president Jonathan, even if they  use EFCC or  other agency fighting corruption to arrest me after the end of my tenure on May 29,2015, I will not be perturbed because I am  used to going to jail," he said.

It was revealed that Governor Lamido lamented that poverty, and lack of good political policies are the major challenges facing the nation’s political system, while saying that only justice and respect for the  rule of law could change the situation.

"I have always said PDP is the symbol of Nigerian politics, members need to adhered  to the manifesto of  its founding fathers which is justice, fairness, equity, transparency, rule of and law", Governor Lamido declared.

Furthermore, the governor stressed that PDP as a party was built on the  ideology  of some Nigerian’s who want the progress of the country, adding that  it is wrong for few individuals to think that they can hijack the nations politics for personal enterprise.
