The Governor of Sokoto State,
Aminu Tambuwal, has said that he has what it takes to defeat President
Muhammadu Buhari in any political platform.
The Governor made this known in
his reaction to the statement by the APC National Leader, Ahmed Tinubu, about
his exit from the ruling party.
According to a statement on the
State’s Twitter handle, @sokotogovthouse, Tambuwal said that Tinubu tried to
rock the boat when he was denied as Buhari’s Vice President, adding that the
former Lagos Governor thinks everyone was like him.
“If I wanted to and if the
Presidency is what (why) Ahmed Tinubu thinks I defected, I could contest with
President Buhari under the APC. I have what it takes to have contested with Mr.
President.”
“Tinubu tried to rock the boat
when he was denied Buhari’s vice presidency. He thinks every other person could
behave his way. If I wanted to contest under the APC as president, I could have
done so and only the votes could have produced a winner.”
He added that Tinubu’s statement
could serve as a confirmation that there was no internal democracy in the
ruling party.
He added, “In any case, Tinubu is
confessing that there is no level-playing ground for all members of the APC;
that there is no internal democracy in it and that some people were denied
their right to internal democracy.”
The former Lagos State Governor
had on Sunday alleged that Tambuwal wants to become president, the reason for
his exit from APC: “Governor Tambuwal’s exit can be distilled to one cause. He
covets the Presidency. However, he had not the stomach to challenge President
Buhari in a primary. Tambuwal felt further insulted that he would be compelled
to face a direct primary just to retain the governorship
