Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, the former Governor of Sokoto State and current Senator representing Sokoto-South, has attributed the ongoing hardship in Nigeria to the re-election of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in 2023.
Speaking at a People’s Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders meeting in Sokoto on Sunday, Tambuwal criticized the APC’s performance, saying, “During our campaigns in 2023, we warned Nigerians not to repeat the mistake of voting APC into power because they have nothing positive to offer.”
He elaborated, “We told them APC are not prepared to lead this country. What they wanted was to grab power and see themselves into offices. 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.”
Tambuwal urged opposition parties to unite in efforts to ensure the APC’s defeat in the next election, stating, “It is our collective responsibility to ensure APC loses at all levels of government.” He also commended PDP leaders for maintaining party cohesion and strengthening its presence.
In his address, state PDP chairman Bello Goronyo claimed that several prominent APC members, including current commissioners, are considering defecting to the PDP. He expressed optimism about the PDP’s chances of reclaiming control of Sokoto State in the next election.
