Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State is joined in attacking the candidacy of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
Speaking at the grand finale of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential campaign in Adamawa State, Tambuwal said Obi’s presidential ambition is dead on arrival.
Tambuwal, who is also the Director General of the Atiku/Okowa campaign, said when Obi was governor of Anambra State he didn’t conduct one local govt election.
He said, “How could he attempt to be president when he couldn’t conduct local govt elections? He is not democratic enough. As far as I am concerned Peter Obi’s candidature is dead on arrival.”
Tambuwal also commended party members for their support for Atiku’s presidency. “I commend all our party leaders and members for all the efforts, when the campaign started, we had 18 contestants and the leading candidate is Atiku and the leading ticket is Atiku/Okowa. We are not ethnic bigots.
“We presented candidates that are ready for the election and serve Nigerians. Other candidates don’t have the experiences of Atiku and Okowa.
“As a former Speaker, I know the difference and it is only Atiku/Okowa that can move the country forward. The ticket reflects pan Nigeria. We won’t vote for APC, again.”
