Meanwhile, NAIJ.com previously reported that Alhaji Sule Lamido dismissed suggestions that he was being sponsored by former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
He said: “I have no political godfather; the presidency is for matured minds and I am one. I hear people say Obasanjo is the one sponsoring my presidential ambition. That is not true.
“I was in PDP before Obasanjo became president, but I respect him as my leader and elder statesman. I also respect every aspirant contesting on the PDP platform.”
