Sokoto State Governor and a Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Alhaji Aminu
Tambuwal saturday noted that the All Progressives
Congress (APC) would be defeated in the 2019
presidential election.
Tambuwal, one of the actors that ended the PDP rule
in 2015, noted that he was confident of clinching the
PDP presidential ticket in the face of various political
gladiators seeking to run on the PDP platform.
He predicted APC’s defeat at a news conference at
the State House, Sokoto yesterday, expressing
confidence that he “has what it takes to clinch the
PDP presidential ticket in the forthcoming primary
election.
In a memorandum to its National Executive Council
last Monday, the PDP had set aside October 5 and 6 to
hold its national convention where the party’s
candidate for the 2019 presidential election would
emerge.
“I wish to officially make public my intention to run
for the Presidency of Nigeria. Let me appeal to one
million Nigerians put together N 200 each and
purchase nomination form for me to enable me
actualise this ambition for the good of all,” Tafida
noted.
Tafida urged Nigerians to be wise and resist attempts
by political merchants to continue stifling the
country’s development through vote buying and
manipulation of the electoral process.
He promised to tackle corruption and insecurity
headlong by doing away and eliminating the reign of
impunity currently being witnessed in the country to
pave way for rapid socio-economic development.
He promised to create jobs through mechanised
agriculture and rapid industrialization if elected into
office, noting that Nigerians “have suffered and it is
time to make sacrifices for a better society.”
