Seek divine pardon, Lamido tells Nigerians

GOVERNOR of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has asked Nigerians to return to God for solutions to the problems facing the country, especially the current security challenges.

Lamido gave the admonition yesterday at the Hawan Bariki when the Emir of Dutse, Alhaji Nuhu Sanusi, paid him Sallah homage at the late Muhammad Sanusi Durba Ground in Dutse, the state capital.

He said things went “wrong in the country because Nigerians abandoned God in the ways they did things. Oppression, injustice and wickedness are responsible for the current crisis in the country. We should seek forgiveness from God and mend our ways so that things can change for the better.”

He expressed gratitude to God for the peaceful co-existence in the state among the different people and attributed it to discipline and understanding of the people of the state.

Earlier, Sanusi urged the governor to revive the irrigation system in the state to achieve food security, jobs for the youth and alleviate poverty among the people.
