Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State who also doubles as the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum,Aminu Tambuwal has debunked the rumour of suspension of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign for Atiku Abubakar.
The Director General of Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign council said contrary to what is being circulated in social media platforms and some news outlets,the campaign train will be moving to Kaduna State on Monday.
In a statement by his spokesman Mohammed Bello,Tambuwal described the suspension as “fake news”, adding that people were looking forward to the PDP train in their states.
Tambuwal, who declared that the PDP is the party to beat in 2023, said other parties were jittery of its popularity.
“None of them have composed their campaign councils, not to even talk of starting. They are trying to throw spammer at our works.”
“They will not succeed. It is one of those shenanigans when you see a party doing well and it’s candidate is better than yours. What you begin to do is to cause mischief. It is not going to work. We’ll run our campaign, as I said before, it is going to be issue-based. We believe there are solutions to the problems bedeviling our country,”he said
“I believe in the candidature of Atiku and Okowa. I also believe that when we get there we shall do better for Nigeria; and, we hope we are able to convince Nigerians to vote for Atiku/Okowa come February 2023.”
He assured that the campaign team will replicate the kind of scenario it had in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state and where thousands of party supporters turned up for the kick off its presidential rally last week Monday.
