Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto, says Peter Obi,
standard-bearer of the Labour Party (LP), is not “democratic enough” to be
president.
Tambuwal, who is the director-general of the PDP
presidential campaign council, spoke at the party’s campaign rally in Yola, the
capital of Adamawa.
The Sokoto state governor said among the candidates
contesting to be president, Abubakar alone has the capacity to “lead Nigeria to
the promised land”.
Tambuwal said Nigeria “cannot afford” to vote for
presidential candidates who have not gathered the required “experience at the
federal level”.
“The argument has been made, issues have been joined and it
is clear that only Atiku and Okowa are prepared to lead this country in a
united manner. Atiku is competent, he has the capacity that we require today.
We must not make the mistake of voting for APC again,” he said.
“I will not talk about Labour because their candidate was
the governor of Anambra state, he was not able to conduct one single local
government election.
“I challenge the Labour people to bring that record where
Peter Obi was able to conduct a local government election, so how can he now be
attempting to be president of Nigeria when as governor he could not organise
local government elections? He is not democratic enough. In any case, his
candidature is tainted by ethnic chauvinism and we know what that will portend
for Nigeria.
“In any case, his
party has not been able to even field enough candidates for national assembly
elections. And in any case, they have not been able to muster agents over the
170, 000 polling units”.
Tambuwal asked the youths at the campaign ground to “ensure that they mobilise” their parents to vote for Atiku Abubakar in the presidential election.

It is ideotic and very foolish of you who played ethnic card during the PDP primaries to come here and accuse a detrabilized Nigerian like Peter Obi for ethnic nonsense. Since you messed up in that primary election, I lost my respect for you
