The Governor of Sokoto State,
Aminu Tambuwal, has insisted that Nigeria was more polarised along ethnic and
religious lines under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Tambuwal, a presidential aspirant
on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, made the claim while
addressing members of the party in Nasarawa, yesterday.
In a statement by Okey Ikechukwu,
spokesman of his campaign office, the governor assured that he will not tackle
insecurity like President Muhammadu Buhari if elected President.
He said, “[My government] will
not adopt a one solution approach of the current government.
“I am here today to tell you that
the privilege of proximity to the seat of power will give you the reward of
deserved gains under my leadership.
“Nigeria will have a leader that
will make her proud in the comity of nations. A leader that has the credential
of togetherness, visionary leadership, bridge-building and a leader that will
not take decisions shrouded in ethnic and religious biases.
“From my experience and exposure
and broad world view, and having visited and interacted with people in all the
360 federal constituencies, as Speaker, I have full understanding of the
complexity of Nigeria’s unique diversity. And I know that our strength is in
our diversity.
“But we need a leader that has
the ability, understanding and willingness to unify this great nation and bring
her to the path of peace and progress because Nigeria has never been this
polarized along ethnic and religious lines. We must say no to clannishness.
Nigeria belongs to all and everyone has the right to live and prosper in any
part of the country without fear.”
