The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has welcomed the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal back to its fold.
PDP said Governor Tambuwal’s decision was “courageous, patriotic and shows him as a statesman, who puts the interest of the nation above all.”
In welcoming Governor Tambuwal, PDP noted that he had continued to “conduct his activities in strict adherence to democratic principles both as former Speaker of the House of Representatives and executive governor of Sokoto state.”
In a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the opposition party said it has “no doubts that Governor Tambuwal will indeed
contribute immensely towards the rebuilding of our dear nation on the platform of the PDP.”
PDP stated that the “return of Governor Tambuwal, Senate President Bukola Saraki, Benue state Governor Samuel Ortom, Kwara state Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and Kano State Deputy Governor, Prof. Hafizu Abubakar in addition to scores of federal legislators to the party, reflects the wishes and aspirations of Nigerians across board, who are now resurging to the repositioned PDP as the only vehicle to rescue our nation from the mis-governance of the APC.”
The statement added, “Indeed, the patriotic action of these leaders and their supporters has given Nigerians a renewed hope of returning our nation to the path of national cohesion, peace and economic prosperity that has eluded her in the last three years of the incompetent administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and the dysfunctional All Progressives Congress (APC).
“We note that the coming weeks will witness the influx of more APC governors, federal legislators, other elected and appointed officials at very high levels, into the repositioned PDP.
“Finally, the party reassures all new and returning members of adequate accommodation in line with the principles of internal democracy being strictly adhered to by the rebranded PDP.”
