Tambuwal: Why I stepped down for Atiku

Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has disclosed reasons why he stepped down his presidential ambition to support the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar at the recent presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The governor, who was also a presidential aspirant on the platform of the party before his late withdrawal where he asked his supporters to vote for Atiku, said it was a sacrifice for Nigerians and Nigeria as a country.

The governor stated this while addressing a crowd who welcomed him back at the state government house on Friday shortly after his arrival from Abuja.

Tambuwal said, “Thank you very much our leaders and distinguished supporters from all over the country for your support and cooperation. I must thank leaders of our party here at Sokoto State level and every level.

“What we have done is for the good of our party and the country. I appreciate everyone of you that prayed for me and our party. The sacrifice that I have made on your behalf is aimed at strengthening our party, our democracy, and, by the grace of God, soft landing our polity. CONTINUE READING…
