ASABA- Ijaw Justice Forum, IJF, a group of Ijaw politicians and professionals in the Niger Delta region, under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on the former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, to run for the 2019 presidential elections.

The group in a statement by the president and secretary, Messrs. Etonye Karona and Akwagbe Ekenwan respectively, said: “We humbly and strongly call upon you to take up the gauntlet and contest the 2019 presidential elections in order to save this nation from the hands of an incompetent and vision-less APC administration.”
Claiming that it appraised northern politicians of the party extraction before narrowing its choice to Lamido, IJF asserted: “We make this clarion call because you (Lamido) have the three most important qualities that a leader should possess, namely: imagination, courage and selflessness.”
“A leader should have some core philosophy and belief against which he can judge the important issues as they arise. Unless he has that bedrock to fall back on, the unexpected storms that blow up will toss him about like a cork.”
“These were the very attributes of the leader that you are that made you to stay back in the PDP while your former colleagues were blown up like a cork. Most of them, no doubt, must be silently grieving their misadventure in the land of the fairies.”
“It is our sincere hope and belief that you will not let our call go in vain when the time presents itself. We shall selflessly work for you and stand by you whether rain or shine,” the group said.
Its words: “We pray God to bless and protect you and your beloved family, including your political associates. We also pray that the Almighty God will see you through your current travails as the just is always vindicated. It is said in the Holy Bible that “darkness may endure for a moment, ‘but joy cometh in the morning.’ This is surely your portion
