“PDP has ruled Nigeria before and now APC have ruled and you all have seen the negative difference. The mantra they campaigned on has failed. So it’s time for us to change the fortunes of this country. I urge you all to remain united and committed.”

Bello Alihru Mohammed, a who opened the floor of discussion said Nigeria is in a bad shape under the government of Buhari and the Kebbi state PDP is backing Tambuwal not because he’s from Sokoto but because he’s competent to rule Nigeria.
“We know his competence. We knew him when he was an aide, when he became a Lawmaker, when he became speaker and his performance as governor of Sokoto.
“He is qualified to rule this country and we recognised his quality and we assure you of our support,” he said.
On his part, former Sokoto governor, Alhaji Bafrawa said Tambuwal is the right person for the job as he possess the experience of a Lawmaker, member of the Judiciary and as well as a two-term governor who has performed credibly well.
