2023: Tambuwal woos Gombe delegates, promises security, economic prosperity, if elected as president
Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal says if elected as president he would ensure protection of lives and property, adding that as a sitting governor he has extended all manner of support to security agencies for it’s smooth operation.
The former Speaker of the house of representatives made this disclosure late Monday night at the Peoples Democratic Party secretariat in Gombe, while convincing delegates that a vote for him would means peace, development and progress.
According to the governor, ” I have provided all that needed to be provided for security agencies. So far, I have provided over 500 vehicles for the security agencies, whatever support they require we give them. Under my leadership (as president), I will do all that it takes to support security services in the states.”
He added, “I can’t deploy a recruit in the Nigeria Police Force, a governor can not procure arms, or deploy technologies. We have constraints that is why some of the issues.”
Tambuwal revealed that as one who has transversed various communities in Nigeria, he has the magic wand to turn things around for the better.
“Poverty is all over and it is ravaging our land; we have the men, women, youth, we have the human resource and in Gombe we have the natural resources in abundance in Gombe State why are we wasting time to explore the oil that we have in Gombe and so many resources that we have underneath. Why are we not utilising the Dadin-Kowa dam that can generate hydro-electric,” Tambuwal said.
On his part, Gombe State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Maj. Gen. Amnon Kwaskebe (retd.), promised the support of delegates, adding the Sokoto State Governor has shown exemplary leadership over the years.
Kwaskebe stated that chairman of PDP Governors’ Forum would emerge victorious.
