Says Nigerians need fresh ideas

A leading presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State, has taken his campaign to the South-west geo-political zone with a promise to provide purposeful and visionary leadership that will unite the country, saying Nigerians needs fresh ideas.

Tambuwal told a crowd of PDP supporters and delegates at the Osun State party secretariat on Wednesday night that there was urgent need to provide a credible alternative that will oust the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government, which he said had failed in all ramifications.

“This country is at a cross road; we need leaders that can bring people together and reunite us, bring the country together and secure it.

“We need to also provide jobs for our teeming youths and women; there is a lot of poverty all over the land’’, the former Speaker of House of Representatives added.

‘’We know how PDP left the economy of this country and we know what is happening today. Don’t mind what they are telling you, it is just simple lie. The economy is not doing well. The fight against corruption is selective and indeed there are no jobs for our people. So have they not failed on their promises to our people?

“I assure you that this ticket by all standards and by all measures is not going to be compared to that of Muhammadu Buhari. We have understanding of the dynamics of the Nigerian state; there is no part of this country that I have not been to. We shall promote national unity and harmony.”

The governor told the delegates that he had a very good understanding of what it takes to provide leadership in Nigeria, saying he had the energy, the capacity in terms of experience, having been a member of the National Assembly for 12 years, four of which he was the speaker, and now governor of Sokoto State.
