Tambuwal collects APC governorship form for Sokoto state

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambawal, on Friday collected his governorship nomination form at the Sokoto State office of the All Progressives Congress with a resolve that if given the mandate, he will continue from where Governor Aliyu Wamakko stops.

The Speaker and other lawmakers were on Thursday locked out from the National Assembly complex by policemen that invaded the place.



Tambawal, decked in his usual complete white attire, stormed the party office accompanied by lawmakers and associates to formally pick the form.

Looking untroubled, the Speaker while speaking during the presentation of the form, assured that he would ensure collectivity and team work for the development of the state.

He said: “My presence here today is in response to call by the good people of Sokoto State for me to come back home and serve them in the capacity of governor and I formally present myself as an aspirant and to purchase an expression of interest form for governorship election.

“I also assure that if given the mandate, we shall carry everyone along and in tune with the value system by ensuring the peace and stability of Sokoto State.”

He described Wamakko’s spirit of political resilience and cohesion as one of a true and competent leader who has done commendably well by offering himself for service to the people of the state.
“We and the entire north are proud of you,” Tambuwal stated.
