Tambuwal who met PDP delegates in the state, said Katsina State, ‘which has produced some of Nigeria’s most respected elder statesmen, deserve better than what we are seeing today’.

Tambuwal in a statement signed by the spokesperson of his campaign organisation, Dr. Okey Ikechukwu urged the delegates to join him on a new journey of restoration.

“Within three years, your son and my elder brother, Umaru Yar’Adua was able to show leadership as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Today, the situation in our country is a pitiable one. I am calling us all to show responsible citizenship by joining to enthrone a leadership that will inject new policy directions for the nation,” he said.

He also visited Jigawa where he met the former governor of the state and PDP presidential aspirant, Sule Lamido and other delegates.

Tambuwal was quoted as saying, “My visit to one of the founding fathers of our great party, Alhaji Sule Lamido is a home coming for me. Yes, I am in my father’s house and the beauty of politics without bitterness is that it makes you focus on the humanity of others. It is with this attitude that we can, and must, build a new Nigeria. The time to start doing that is now”

While addressing the delegates, Tambuwal urged them to join him in electing a new leadership to save the nation and create a new and brighter future.

“We have gotten to the point in our country that we have only two options in 2019 elections, either we move forward or we move backward. Since we have resolved not to move backward, I urge you today to join me so that we bring in strategic new leadership, to save the nation and create a new and brighter future for our beloved country. The time to usher in that new leadership with your votes is now,” he added.
