Lamido who said he is still a card carrying member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) explained that the visit was to discuss the need for campaign officials to jettison smear campaigns as they sell themselves to the electorate.
Speaking at a PDP governorship rally in Kaugama, Kaugama Local Government Area, Jigawa, Lamido said, ''If Amaechi, a Southerner and a Christian is campaigning for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the APC; I do not see any wrong for me, a northerner and Muslim to campaign for President Jonathan.
''Leadership comes from God. And in his divine wisdom made people of northern and southern extraction to live in one land, our dear country, Nigeria. We are one and we should not allow some disgruntled elements using politics, religion and ethnicity to cause disaffection among our people.
''Ignore what they are saying; it is frivolous and cheap lies to deceive voters. They said I do not care for the north and called me a pastor, but it does not bother me,” Mr. Lamido said.
''You should not be deceived by the smear campaigns. Vote for credible people, those who respect human rights, ensure accountability and transparency in governance. I advise you to vote wisely''
