Alhaji Sule Lamido, the former governor of Jigawa state declared on Wednesday that he bore no grudge against anyone over his week long incarceration.
Lamido who made a triumphant entry into Kano on a chattered aircraft (5N—LDM) by 1.26pm and was welcomed by thousands of supporters who sclaed the fence of VIP section of Malam Aminu Kano International Airport.
After the politician snuck into a waiting SUV on a journey to his NNDC palatial residence in company of over 2,000 cars, he briefed reporters in his home.
Lamido said that he was a veteran of incarnation, pointing out that there was nothing new in it. He said: "I’m not new to detention facility, it’s all part of struggle for life. If the purpose is to humiliate, deconstruct me and my family, well that is hazard of occupying a high office."
The former governor also pointed out that being in prison brought out his other side. He said: "It is difficult to share my prison with anyone because it’s not like hunger or something tangible. You have to be in there to feel what I went through with my children”.
He finished his statement by saying "Yes, people hate me because of I am outspoken, I want to make it clear that Nigeria remain my country, there is no way I can runaway to other country and even at that where do I go?”
The former Governor expressed his gratitude to the judiciary to have recognised his personality as he stressed that the gesture has restored confidence in the polity.
