Former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto-South, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has attributed the prevailing hardship in Nigeria to the re-election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in 2023.
Speaking at a stakeholders meeting of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto, Tambuwal reiterated warnings issued during the 2023 campaigns, stating, “We warned Nigerians not to repeat the mistake of voting APC into power because they have nothing positive to offer them.”
Highlighting the lack of preparedness and vision within the APC leadership, Tambuwal lamented the current state of affairs under their governance.
He remarked, “Now they have grabbed the power and are into offices but don’t know what to do with it. And life is becoming unbearable to many Nigerians because of their failure.”
Calling for concerted opposition efforts, Tambuwal urged unity among opposition parties to ensure the defeat of the APC in future elections.
He emphasized the collective responsibility to oust the ruling party from all levels of government.
In his address, Tambuwal commended party leaders for their efforts in strengthening the PDP and expressed confidence in the party’s ability to reclaim the state in the coming elections.
State chairman of the PDP, Bello Goronyo, also shared optimism about the party’s prospects, revealing that some APC members, including serving commissioners, had expressed interest in joining the PDP.
As Nigeria grapples with socio-economic challenges, Tambuwal’s remarks underscore the need for robust opposition engagement and collective action to address governance issues and steer the country towards progress and prosperity.
