PDP: Tambuwal breaks silence after stepping down fo Atiku

Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has described as a good omen the victory of Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party.

Recall that Tambuwal had stepped down for Atiku at the primaries held Saturday in Abuja.
Abubakar scored 371 votes to emerge as the party candidate defeating his close contender, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, who polled 237 votes.

In a congratulatory message titled, ‘Congratulatory message to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’ Tambuwal said he has no doubt that Atiku would make the party at the main election.

The statement read, “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 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.”
