The Chairman of the PDP Governors’ forum and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has congratulated former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for emerging the Presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP).
This is just as the former President of the Senate, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, also congratulated the former Vice President.
Governor Tambuwal who had stepped down from the presidential race minutes before the commencement of voting during the party’s convention in Abuja, pledged to ensure the party’s victory in the 2023 general elections.
“It is history that after far reaching consultations and firm convictions on my part, I decidedly, with our great party and nation at heart, withdrew my aspiration to be nominated as a presidential candidate of our party, in your support.
“It is also history that you are clinching this ticket under the auspices of our party for the second time, the first in Port Harcourt four years ago; and, today, to God’s glory.
“As a bastion of democracy and good governance in our country, I have no doubt that your nomination by our party at this critical juncture in our nation’s quest for Great Leap Forward, is a good omen.
“On behalf of the government and good people of Sokoto state, the PDP Governors’ Forum, which I humbly chair, our party men and women, I felicitate with you on this occasion.
“I assure you that we are desirous of working very closely with you to ensure our party’s victory next year by God’s grace,” said Tambuwal.
