Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, has come hard on his former party by declaring that a vote for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the forthcoming elections will undermine the self-worth of every Nigerian.
He noted that if he and some of his colleagues in the National Assembly selfishly wanted the easy way out, they would not have moved away from the PDP but would have remained in the party and get richer for that.
Speaking through a statement issued by his spokesman on Monday, Tambuwal made the remarks on Sunday night when he addressed a Town Hall meeting of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in Tsafe Emirate, Zamfara State.
The APC governorship candidate in Sokoto alleged that the PDP has since 1999 shown it is incapable of steering the ship of state in an effective manner. He added that for Nigerians to regain their dignity and self-worth, they must join hands to vote out the party from power.
According to the statement, “Many patriotic Nigerians who felt the need to change the course of our country have protested the inept administrative style visited on this country. They made their voices known by abandoning the PDP and teaming up with progressive-minded Nigerians.
“Remaining in the PDP would have the easy option for us. We would have been richer and would been enjoying the benefits of being in the same political camp with the Federal Government. But we chose a different option because we felt enough is enough. We felt Nigeria deserves better leadership that is why we are in the APC.
“So a vote for PDP would be undignified. We must re-discover our self-worth as a people, we must move the country forward,” asserted Tambuwal.
