Sokoto State governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has what it takes to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in a free and fair election in 2019, his support group has said.

The Aminu Waziri Tambuwal Support Group spoke through a statement made available to NewsExpress, insisting that Tambuwal has the political clout to emerge as PDP flag bearer for the 2019 presidential elections.

According to the statement: “PDP cannot afford to have a candidate that can be thoroughly harassed and blackmailed to succumb by the desperate Buhari administration,” adding that the party had the opportunity to retire Buhari if Tambuwal got the PDP ticket.

“We realise that the decision on our party’s flag-bearer is not an easy one to make but one that must be made with all the seriousness that it demands.

“We have no doubt that a number of our party aspirants are qualified to be president of this country but given the key issues on ground, we cannot but put our best foot forward and this letter hopes to convince you with these three reasons why our man should fly this great party’s flag,” the group added.
