The Sokoto State Governor and Presidential aspirant on the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has
lamented that Nigeria is sliding towards a failed state under the watch of the
All Progressives Congress (PDP).
Tambuwal who stated this Friday when he visited the PDP
National Working Committee (NWC) at the party’s National Headquarters in Abuja
claimed that Nigerians are facing greater dangers than they ever have.
He said “Our country has been divided as never before. Our
economy is in shambles. The security ravaging the country has never been this
bad.
“The general summation of the situation of the country is
that we are sliding towards a failed state. I’m not saying that Nigeria is
already a failed state, but we’re inching towards that, Tambuwal said.
The Chairman PDP governors forum also added that it is the
responsibility of all PDP members to collectively work together towards
rescuing the country, and retrieving Nigeria from APC before “the deed is
done”.
He said the PDP is poised and positioned to provide that
platform and facilitation towards the achievement of this very important
objective of very many Nigerians who are dissatisfied with what is happening.
According to him, “those who can find their way have already
left and several are processing their way out of this country because of their
belief that Nigeria is not working for all of us.
“But we cannot all be that disappointed, disenchanted to
begin to process papers to leave this country. Some of us must remain behind
and slog it out through the democratic process to retrieve our country,
reposition our country and work towards rebuilding our country, he added.
Tambuwal told the gathering that is contesting for the PDP
Presidential ticket to emerge as the party’s candidate and a President that
will help address the myriad of problems confronting the country.

that Nigeria needs a visionary leader who will be fair and just to all.
He said “the country needs a very serious leader, a
visionary leader who is fair and justice, who can turn around the fortunes of
the country in a very short time.
Ayu expressed confidence that the 17 PDP 2023 Presidential
aspirants all have what is required to turn Nigeria around within the shortest
time possible.
The former President of the Senate added that “we as a
National Working Committee, despite the pressure on most of us, we are working
around the clock to make sure that we provide a strong platform, provide not
just a level playing field but transparently follow the tradition of the
People’s Democratic Party.
