Lamido has aborted my dreams for Jigawa — Turaki

Ibrahim Saminu Turaki




*Sule Lamido
 
SEnator Ibrahim Turaki, was governor of Jigawa State between 1999-2007, after  which he moved on to the Senate. His governorship was shadowed by a number of controversies, including mutterings over his several travels and scientific whims. His exit brought a change in the pattern of governance in the state. Turaki who had largely been out of circulation was recently in the state for a meeting with political associates, following which in an interview with newsmen, he said the changes brought about by his successor aborted his great dreams for the state. Excerpts:
By ALIYU DANGIDA
There are speculations that President Goodluck Jonathan is luring you back to the PDP. Is it true?
I was the leader of PDP in Jigawa State and PDP never won election in the state until I became leader of the party. Thinking that I will be brought back to PDP does not arise.
