Ahead of the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt on Saturday, one of the presidential aspirants, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal has alleged a gang-up against him by other presidential aspirants.

Some of the leading contestants for the party’s presidential ticket are former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Senate President Bukola Saraki, former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, former Senate President David Mark and former Plateau State Governor Jonah Jang.

There are, however, reports that Tambuwal enjoys support of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, an influential member of the party and host of the party’s convention.

Director-General of Tambuwal Campaign Organisation, Mike Omere, while addressing journalists in Port Harcourt on Friday, said the Sokoto Governor’s intimidating credentials were the reason for the gang-up.

“The others are up against our candidate because he is the most qualified. There are candidates and there are candidates. Our candidate has the credential of being one of the very few that have served in public office and is yet to be invited by any of the investigative agencies for talks.

“Our candidate is young and appeals to the leaders of the moment because that is the direction the world is going.

“Our candidate is the one who believes that the future of our country is now and we should begin to create the space for people to begin to achieve their destinies. Our candidate believes that we have passed that stage of potentials,” Omere said.

He expressed hope that the PDP national convention would be transparent in line with established processes.

“The party always has a process; an established process of conducting its businesses and affairs. Like transparent processes that produced former leaders of the party, this will be done in full glare of the media and the public.

“Everyone who is an accredited delegate will be free to cast his vote according to his will. I cannot see how interference will take place in the process. The others are up against our candidate because he is the most qualified,” he said.

Omere added: “Essentially, Port Harcourt today is a city agog. A number of Nigerians are coming into this part of our country, essentially to participate in the forthcoming national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party.

“Now as a build-up to this, a number of Nigerians have expressed interest to participate in the selection process of the party. And as a result of that, individuals who have signified their interest within the context of the desire to move Nigeria forward, have been going round across the country.

“We are in Port Harcourt to participate and our candidate is Alhaji Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, CON, Governor of Sokoto State.”

Pdp and gang-up,

Meanwhile it is tambuwal that is ganging up against the rest candidates.

so u want dem 2surender dia ambitn 2u. u beta go &campaign,stop relyin on wike cos PDP aint APC wia som people are lords

Tomorrow is the D day sha! Let's see how it pans out

Tomorrow is the D-day sha! Let's see how it pans out

Lass lass, na settlement

Very funny

Either Dankwambo or Tambuwal should pick the ticket. They are young and smart kids with many exposures or less say they are technocrats than others

There should be no gang-ups.
Work with what consensus candidate you have.
Only 1 person can have the ticket.

Defectors should take the back seat!

Tambuwal, Saraki and Dankwambo should be my pick anyday, though Dankwambo should be the best candidate.

But PDP dey look for who can sell and garner votes

Is it the same Mike Omere the Wike guy or another Mike? This shows who Wike is supporting

Tambuwal is a traitor, he should carry his cross by himself.

Ironically Tambuwal that claims to be the "cleanest" candidate,having not been invited by the efcc,is the weakest amongts the candidates able to defeat Buhari.
I maintain Atiku is the best PDP can produce if they are serious about defeating Buhari.
He is intellectually far better than Buhari,has nationwide spread,is non parochial and not nepotic,has concrete economic/developmental plans with antecedents and proof to back it,and would match APC cash for cash.
Tambuwal would be a walkover for Buhari.

Fight dey come..e never reach. Abeg who get popcorn nah as this movie go sweet gaaan?

Saraki for PDP's Presidential ticket jooooor.

seanfer:

Wike is rumoured to want VP slot under Tambuwal the reason he's deploying every mercinery to ensure he emerges. Tambuwal will definitely pose no single threat against PMB if he emerges though.

Even Atiku will be a walkover.

Exactly, any of the defectors shouldn't be allowed to have the ticket.

Saraki or stimulus the oppositions party’s best bet. Tambuwal will just be a walkover even without rigging

Who is tambuwal

Problem don start

The only candidates that can challenge Buhari/APC rigging next year:

1. Atiku
2. Kwankwaso
3. Saraki

Tambuwal, Dankwambo, David Mark, Jona Jang and Lamido can't beat Buhari/APC rigging tactics.

Buhari's only hope to win next year's election is through massive rigging, thuggery, intimidation and killings.

Only the first 3 set of candidates can match him.

Yes they are not the best but they are lesser evil than Buhari.

If PDP can get the election right and not split after the election, then they will defeat Buhari next year despite his rigging agenda

No distractions please.

Keep your eyes on the ball.

Buhari must be sacked next year...

PDP are not ready to take over from APC!
Instead of them to come together,they are ganging up even before the primaries..
Smh!

It's obvious Tambuwal has no chance of winning this PDP presidential ticket. Thinking that other aspirants are ganging up against him is pride which is his major hindrance.

Ok

If it's neither Atiku nor Saraki





We nor want.

Atiku is d best candidate

Hmmmmm...

They don start conspiracy? How many hours ago we see all of dem pack demselves for back of canter de form unity?

Dont get it twisted.....

Not gang up against but against ur main supporter in name of wike.

Ar u expecting Atiku, Saraki, Lamido, mark and other senior politicians in pdp........to open their 2 eyes and allow wike to be kicking dem like ball in soccer game.


U neva see something


Meanwhile, here we dont give Bleep on e fight , u can ask ds guy
