While speaking at an interactive forum in Dutse, the state capital on Tuesday after commissioning the Dutse International Airport, the president stated that there’s no feud between them and there would never be one in the future.
President Goodluck Jonathan who praised Governor Sule Lamido over his achievements, especially in the development of the infrastructure in the states also stated his commitment in helping him in the 2011 elections saying:
“Sule Lamido is a man of his word, In terms of what people say about frosty relation relationship, sometimes it is issues of interpretation”.
“Sule Lamido was totally committed. He is not somebody that talks from the two sides of his mouth. That is the good thing about Sule Lamido. He does not deceive himself or deceive you. I used to tell people I don’t have a problem with Sule Lamido.

“Even if there is a problem today, Sule Lamido is somebody I trust. He does not deceive. Let me reassure you that we have no problems; myself and Sule Lamido and definitely I will not have problems with the people of Jigawa state. All we have to do is to strengthen our relation more and more and work together,” President Jonathan said.

The President described an airport as an indispensable facility for business transaction praised the Governor for building the facility while stating the value it will add to the state and Nigeria as a whole as it would attract investments to Nigeria and generate jobs for the citizens.
Meanwhile there had been reports that Governor Lamido was planning to run for president and would therefore oppose President Goodluck Jonathan’s bid for second term in office.
