Aminu Tambuwal, governor of
Sokoto, has congratulated former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for picking the
presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Tambuwal, in a letter addressed
to Atiku on Monday, pledged to support his presidential bid.
Atiku scored 1,532 votes to
clinch the ticket, while Tambuwal who got 693 votes was the closest opponent in
the party’s elective convention held in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.
“On behalf of myself, my family,
and millions of my supporters from across the length and breadth of the
country, I heartily rejoice with and congratulate you on your emergence as the
flag bearer of our great political party, the PDP.
“Your emergence through a
transparent process is a testament to the fact that the PDP is now a reformed
party and has sent a strong signal about our resolve to bring about the desired
national transformation needed to turn around the fortunes of our beloved
nation Nigeria,” he said.
Tambuwal promised to work with
Atiku to ensure that he emerged victorious in the 2019 general election, and
urged members of the PDP to roll up their sleeves to ensure victory for it.
Ayo Fayose, who backed Tambuwal
in the PDP presidential primary, has threatened to pull out of the party.
