Governor Aminu Tambuwal

Governor of Sokoto state and presidential aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP), Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, said job creation for the teeming youth population and women development would be given to priority in his government if elected president in 2019 general elections, adding that he will not run a clannish government.

“I will not run a government of a few for interest of a few, if given the opportunity to serve this nation as a president. No section of this great nation would be denied the opportunity of human or capital development. Nigeria is blessed and every Nigerian should naturally benefit from this God given blessing, and every good opportunity to develop and fulfill our potentials as a people.

“In me, you have a personality who will, with your support and the support of Nigerians, win the coming presidential election convincingly. And I assure you that shall evenly distribute the wealth of this nation, projects and development across the nation because Nigeria belongs to all of us, irrespective of ethnic or religious background,” Tambuwal said.

The governor made this promise at the PDP secretariat Minna, Niger state on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, while addressing delegates from the state as part of his nationwide consultation tour.

While thanking the delegates and supporters for coming out enmasse to receive him and his team, the former speaker of House Of Representatives, said that “coming to Minna is like coming home” to him because of the pleasant memories the “power city holds” for him.

He told the delegates that he they “should vote for a candidate with leadership experience and capacity. Somebody that has comparative advantage over the rest like my good self. With my experience as a legislator, part of which I served at different capacities which culminated with my tenure as a Speaker.

“As a lawyer and life member of body of benchers and also my executive experience as a governor, I have full understanding of what it takes to pilot the affairs of this nation and return it to the part of unity and development.

“We need informed Leadership that will open up the system for Nigerians to show what they are capable of here at home, instead of exporting their skills.” Tambuwal said.

Responding, the Niger state PDP chairman, Barrister Tanko Beji, hailed Tambuwal’s leadership capacity for bridge building, peacemaking and plans to give Nigeria a nation of equal opportunities, adding that the former Speaker “falls within the age bracket, exposure and intelligence of emerging global leaders. This is the time to change from old to new and from analogue to digital.”
