Be Humble, Don’t Intimidate People Using Your Office – Lamido Knocks Ribadu
By Juliet Vincent
A former Governor of Jigawa State, Dr. Sule Lamido has urged the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu to be humble and not to use his office to intimidate people.
Lamido said of Ribadu: “In his characteristic arrogance, he used his office to intimidate and malign political office holders just like he now frequently threatens people with court action over any opinion expressed about him.”
He made the remarks in his Facebook page noting that “the current National Security Advisor understandably has a moral problem which is a huge burden to carry.”
The former Governor who was also one-time Minister of Foreign Affairs pointed out that”In his typical manner he announced to the whole world then, the four most corrupt Governors in Nigeria, namely Gov Tinubu of Lagos, Gov Kalu of Abia, Gov Akume of Benue and one other.”
He said: “By way of reminder, the current NSA was the Chairman of the EFCC under the regime of President Obasanjo.
“The then Governor Tinubu, not known to be a forgiving person, marked Ribadu to make sure that one day he would lick his vomit.
“Tinubu founded a party called AC and tricked Ribadu to run as the presdential candidate of the Party. Against all the known Fulani unforgettable mind of vengeance for offense, he greedy accepted Tinubu’s offer. That singular mistake derobe Ribadu of his cloth of honor and character for agreeing to run on the Party of the man he once described as the most corrupt.
“By the same greed, Ribadu is today serving in the Government of the people he called the most corrupt; Tinubu as President, Akume as SGF and Kalu as ranking Senator!
“Rather than face his job as an anonymous Security Advisor like his predecessors, his disturbed conscience is turning him into the most embarrassing sycophant of the Fulbe. How very sad!
“Please President Tinubu, you have taken more than your own pound of flesh in revenge. Remove the fear in him so that he can serve you better as your Security Advisor rather than a Minister of Information,” Lamido posited.
The former Governor rolled out names of those who held the position of NSA to include late Umaru Shinkafi, Gen Abdullahi Mohammed, late Rafindadi, Sama’ila Gwarzo, Gen Aliyu Gusau, Gen Sarki Mukhtar, Col Dasuki and Gen Munguno describing them as mature, professionals, disciplined, competent and not loquacious, above all anonymous and were never flippant.
He said they were all very thorough, because they never had a moral problem until Ribadu.
