Obasanjo said this in Dutse, the state capital, yesterday when he visited the state.
He said given Lamido’s background and pedigree he is capable of ruling the country.
His words: “Given his background, performance and credibility, he is competent. With his exposure, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with anybody.
“If it is the wish of the people, it is okay. He did not tell me he is wishing but being the wish of the people let wait and see. Based on his track record, would you say he is not competent?”
The former President said he was in the state to adopt a school under the Obasanjo foundation and train girls.
Obasanjo said the rationale behind supporting girl child education in Jigawa is to train and bring them up with ideals needed for good leadership.
“Our hope is to produce future leaders who would grow up with one Nigeria in their subconscious, committed and patriotic, those who understand that self is not good enough.”
Obasanjo praised Lamido for the construction of the “best international airport” in the country within a short time.
