The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal says the Peoples Democratic Party should give its presidential ticket to a candidate that can win the election, not minding what part of the country the candidate comes from.

“I’m appealing to my party that we should be talking about how to win the election. Not just not zoning of where the President is coming from,” Mr Tambuwal said.

He added that “The President can come from wherever provided he has the capacity and competence to fix Nigeria of the moment. The Nigeria of 1998 is different from the Nigeria of 2023.”

Mr Tambuwal made this statement in an interview with Channels TV on Tuesday, citing how the All Progressives Congress won the 2015 election by strategically picking President Muhammadu Buhari as its candidate.

“As I said before, APC in 2015, deliberately out of strategy sort out President Muhammadu Buhari from Katsina state. Meanwhile, the last president from the Northern part of Nigeria was Umaru Musa Yar’Adua from the same Katsina State.

“Because they believe they can win the election with him. It is now the APC is talking about zoning. When they were looking for Presidency and power, they didn’t talk about zoning. They got someone they believe could check the box at that moment and deliver,” Mr Tambuwal said.

The governor’s comment comes amid agitation for the PDP to zone its presidential ticket to the south.

Give ticket to who can win and not who can perform....shebi na like that Buhari take carry ticket that year and today he has taken the country to the wilderness.

Tambuwal is really serious with this thing oh.

He was misquoted yesterday that he said SS cannot win presidential election.

Tambuwal knows which zone he referred to.

The zone knows itself.

That is why the zone is presenting a fulani man as their candidate.

This is. Very true.... The party they are. Up against are a strong one

The zone you're referring to is working behind the scene to reach a suitable equitable arrangement with the powers that be. They don't have time to organize paparazzi events and waste resources and manpower simply because no one is picking their calls

The fact you think the votes of millions of Nigerians is what decides who heads the government is laughable

it is 5% votes from the red mud that will decide

No, neither the 5% nor the 94% decide who heads the government. It's the 1% that gets to decide, and lucky for us all they don't reason like the 99% do

A South South man can give the APC a good run for their money.

Atiku tried and lost in 2019

Let Wike try too.

My advice for the people of the south east is that they should get their pvcs else they will never smell the presidential seat. Enough is enough for this cheating.

yoruba muslims are happy forgetting their history in Nigerian presidential elections.

Selfish people.
