Ex-Jigawa Gov, Lamido, says northern govs trip to US for security summit is a display of ignorance

Former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido has lent his voice to the criticism that has continued to pour on some Northern governors following their recent trip to the United States of America to attend a symposium on insecurity organized by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP).

Lamido, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who expressed his disappointment with the governors for abandoning the mounting insecurity in their region and electing to travel to the US for the summit, said it was an embarrassment to Nigeria as well as a display of ignorance on the part of the governors to attend the summit when their region was in the grip of terrorism and terrorists.

In a post on his official Facebook page on Sunday titled ‘Advancing our shame and embarrassment beyond our frontiers,’ Lamido said the Northern governors’ trip to the US exposed their ignorance of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
