Sokoto State Governor and presidential aspirant on the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Aminu Tambuwal, has said any of the
aspirants who would continue with what the President, Muhammadu
Buhari, is doing in the country should not be voted for.
Tambuwal was speaking on Monday in Lokoja while addressing
delegates ahead of the party primaries.
He said, “We are living witnesses to the pathetic security
situation in the country which has become a national problem, yet some people
are saying that they want to continue what brother Buhari is doing, please
don’t give such people any chance.”
He also called on Nigerians not to lose hope in the face of
the current security challenges as help is on the way from him when he becomes
president.
“Security challenge is a national problem. I, however, want
to urge you not to lose hope as I have the necessary experience needed to
address it headlong,” Tambuwal said.
He said, “I have been tested at different levels and I have
the prerequisite qualifications needed. I am a lawyer, one-time speaker of the
House of Representatives, and now the governor of Sokoto State; my records
speak volume as someone with adequate experience needed to to run Federal
states such as ours.
“As the governor of Sokoto State, we have never owed any
worker. When I tried last time, they said I was still learning, but now
experience has come and I will employ them in governing the country.”
Tambuwal said that he was well-grounded in party politics
and understood their language well enough to be able to carry everyone along.
“I understand everything about party politics: I understand
their language and I will speak it. I understand this country very well and I
have a strong network of friends across the length and breadth of the country.
I say let us partner to get the party tickets so that we can work together,” he
said.
He described the ruling All Progressive Congress as a party
with “no agenda, which cannot take a definite position on zoning and were
waiting for PDP who have succeeded in throwing confusion into their midst for
opting for a younger person in Aminu Tambuwal.”
Tambuwal also promised to work towards the resuscitation of
the Ajaokuta steel company and make it work for the people of Kogi and Nigeria
in general.
“I have been trying to work on Ajaokuta since my days as the
Speaker of the House of Representatives. I understand all the issues
surrounding Ajaokuta. We will work hard to make it work for the people of the
state and Nigeria as a whole,” he added.
