Tambuwal reveals what he’ll do if he fails to emerge PDP presidential candidate

Sokoto State governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has revealed what he will do should he fail to grab the party’s ticket.

The governor, who spoke on Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi, during a meeting with stakeholders of the party, said he would accept the outcome of the election and support whoever emerges as the party’s candidate.

The meeting was part of his familiarisation visit ahead of the PDP presidential primary scheduled between October 5, and October 6 in Port Harcourt.

He said, “I deem it appropriate to start the visit with Kebbi State being my home as Sokoto and Zamfara. Our party is still consulting the stakeholders on who to present to contest for the presidential position.

“If the consultation fails, we will do the primary and I will accept the outcome and support whoever emerges as our candidate.”

Tambuwal noted that he left PDP for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2015 general election due to the situation “we found ourselves under PDP in the last government.”

Adding that he had to return to PDP after APC failed “our conviction and presumption that the party would do the expected,” Tambuwal assured that he was going to address the security challenges in Zamfara, Birnin Gwari in Kaduna, Benue, Taraba as well as Kebbi if elected president.

He spoke after the deputy state chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Musa Argungu, had promised him that the party members would support his ambition.
