A former Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa has
said the current Governor of the State, Aminu Tambuwal is more qualified to be
the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate.
Bafarawa explained that Tambuwal’s political antecedents and
ability to coordinate people makes him more qualified to be PDP’s flag bearer.
He spoke during Tambuwal’s ongoing consultations aimed at
becoming PDP’s presidential candidate in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, NAN
reports.
Bafarawa said being a lawyer and a former Speaker of the
House of Representatives makes Tambuwal more qualified to become PDP’s
presidential candidate.
He pointed out that Tambuwal would fit into all arms of
government if given the opportunity to rule Nigeria.
“Tambuwal was not only a legislator but also a lawyer by
profession, meaning that he fits into judiciary and at the same time, today he
is a sitting governor serving his second term.
“This is to tell you that Tambuwal fits into all the three
arms of government. Therefore, he is more credible for the presidential ticket.
“That’s why we are here to take him to where we want him to
be, not where he wants to be,” Bafarawa said.
Under the PDP, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki,
ex-SGF, Anyim Pius Anyim, Dele Momodu of Ovation Magazine have also signified
interest to run for the presidency in 2023.
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar is yet to declare his
intentions.
