Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has declared interest to contest for the president come 2023.
He revealed this after he arrived in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital in continuation of his consultation.
According to him, he wants to contest for the president to save the country from total disintegration.
Aminu Tambuwal also noted that Nigeria is currently a sinking ship and needs a competent leader to save it from total collapse.
Going further, the governor talked about how he left his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party in 2015 when he was the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
According to him, he joined the All Progressives Congress due to the security challenges during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
However, he returned to the PDP in 2018 when he realized that the APC government was worse than the Jonathan administration.
He said;
“I left the PDP and joined APC in 2015 where we campaigned for Buhari because we thought that he had the potential to fight the insecurity issues and other challenges bedevilling the nation. But unfortunately, he cannot make things work as we expected.
“That was why I also decided to dump the APC and return my former party, the PDP in 2018.’’
He called on the PDP members to give him the chance.
“By the grace of God, I will do my best to make sure that the party takes over the country come 2023 elections.” He concluded.
