The Governor of Sokoto, Aminu Tambuwal, has called on
Nigerians and those in the ruling All Progressives Congress who are patriotic
enough to join the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, in its
determination to rescue Nigeria.
Tambuwal, Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, said this at
the gala night event hosted by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for PDP
governors at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Port Harcourt, on Sunday
night.
He said the PDP governors and other party leaders are
already working in synergy towards rebuilding the party.
“All Nigerians of goodwill who believe in this country, who believe Nigeria is going the wrong direction, ought to join us.
“And like I always say, there are two divides in Nigeria
today. Those who are happy with the confusion because they are benefiting from
what is happening at the centre, and those of us who are truly patriotic enough
to disagree with the way our country is being governed and being run.”
“I appeal and beseech every Nigerian, even those in APC that
are patriotic enough to join hands with us as we continue to march towards
rescuing Nigeria together.
“I believe it is our responsibility to do so, not for
ourselves but for our younger ones and generation unborn,” Tambuwal said.
Also speaking, the National Chairman of the PDP, Senator
Iyorchia Ayu, said poor leadership has presented Nigeria at home and abroad as
an extremely divided country.
He said the leadership of the ruling All Progressives
Congress has been unable to harness the rich diversity of Nigerians into better
fortunes that should strengthen the bond of brotherhood and promote peaceful
coexistence.
Governors present at the gala night were, Okezie Ikpeazu
(Abia), Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri (Adamawa), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Mohammed
Bala (Bauchi), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
(Enugu).
Also in attendance were the Deputy Governors of Rivers and
Zamfara, Dr Ipalibo Harry-Banigo and Mahdi Aliyu Mohammed Gusau; PDP national
secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu and several other dignitaries.
