Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido said President Goodluck Jonathan is free to contest the 2015 Presidential election through a fair and transparent process.

He made the comment yesterday when 50 ex-1979 legislators paid him a courtesy call in Dutse.

Lamido is among the G-7 governors who are reported to be opposed to the president standing for re-election.

But he said yesterday: “As for the government, we voted for it in 2011 and we will continue to defend, support and stand by the government till 2015. Our loyalty remains with the government. It is our government. That I can guarantee.

“But our problem is with PDP as a party as it is currently constituted. We feel that there is no due process, integrity and transparency. It is this brigandage that we are fighting and we shall fight until justice is done. Jonathan is free to contest but the process must be free and fair, credible and transparent.”
