I Am Not Running For Any Office Come 2019 – Lai Mohammed

Lai Mohammed

Lai Mohammed Lai Mohammed, Nigeria’s minister of Information and Culture, says he has no plans of contesting for any office come 2019. Lai said his mission as new All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in Kwara is to rescue the state from hawks.  Speaking at a meeting of Congress of Kwara Progressives, Mohammed said Bukola Saraki’s recent defection from APC  had presented an opportunity for the people to liberate the state from those who had held it to ransom.  Lai Mohammed“What an auspicious time for all of us! Never before, have we had a great opportunity like we have now to take our state back from the rapacious few, who has held the state by the jugular and prevented it from meeting the hopes and aspirations of its people. From my consultations with key stakeholders so far, I can say, categorically, that Kwarans have all resolved to take their destiny into their own hands and take back what rightly belongs to them. This is unprecedented in the history of our state, and we must not waste this opportunity. On my own part, I can say here, without equivocating, that I won’t be running for any office during the forthcoming elections. For me, it is not about any clamour for office. It is about working with all like minds for the greater benefit of our people,” he said. He continued saying; ”I can tell you that if we all remain united, we can’t and we won’t lose the looming battle for the survival of our dear state. All that is required is for us all to subordinate our individual ambitions to the collective efforts to wrest our state from the hegemony of one man and his cohorts,” he said.Lai MohammedPhoto Credit: Getty
