Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto
State on Wednesday night held a closed-door meeting with former President
Olusegun Obasanjo in his Abeokuta residence.
According to NAN, Aminu who
addressed journalists after the meeting, said he was in Abeokuta to consult
with Obasanjo in respect of the 2019 poll.
“Obasanjo is one of the critical
leaders of the country and it is necessary for me to consult with him
concerning the 2019 polls, particularly on my aspiration to contest for the
presidency of Nigeria,” he said.
The governor expressed optimism
that Nigeria could still attain greater and enviable height particularly if the
citizens vote rightly in the 2019 polls.
He advised that every component
part of the nation should be given an opportunity and sense of belonging in the
Nigerian context.
Tambuwal also urged political
gladiators not to make the 2019 election a matter of “do or die”.
He described the clamour by the
youths for increased participation in the governance process in Nigeria as
“justified”, considering the high percentage of their population in the
country.
Tambuwal called on the present
leadership to accord them more opportunities to participate in governance
process.
