Tambuwal optimistic PDP will win Saturday rerun, salutes lawmaker, others for dumping APC
Governor of Sokoto State, Dr.Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has urged supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to shun violence and exhibit high sense of maturity during and after Saturday’s re-run election in the state.
In a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicitt, Mallam Muhammad Bello, on Friday, Tambuwal was said to have made the call during the final campaign of PDP ahead of the election in Sokoto.
Tambuwal, whose final victory at Supreme Court on Monday has made him a stronger Garrison Commander of Sokoto politics, also urged PDP supporters to come out enmasse and vote for the party’s candidates to enable it consolidate its recent gains of clinching two seats at the National Assembly comprising Senate and the House of Representatives.
The governor endorsed the party’s candidates for the Sokoto North and South Federal Constituency rerun election and supplementary election for State House of Assembly, in Sokoto North Local Government.
He expressed optimism that the PDP candidates would emerge victorious in the elections even as he lauded the courage of former All Progressives Congress (APC) Sokoto State House of Assembly member, Alhaji Bature Lili, and other members of the party, who have dumped the party for PDP.
He noted that his administration and the PDP are ready to work with individuals and groups from different political platforms in order to develop the state.
He further thanked the people of the state for their fervent prayers for his administration and assured them of his determination to continue providing more dividends of democracy to the people of the state.
