Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has felicitated the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on his victory.
He said this in a congratulatory message titled, ‘Congratulatory message to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’.
In the results, Atiku Abubakar scored 371 votes to emerge as the party candidate defeating his close contender, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, who polled 237 votes.
The statement read, “It is a history that after far-reaching consultations and firm convictions on my part, I decided, with our great party and nation at heart, withdrew my aspiration to be nominated as a presidential candidate our party in your support.
“It is also history that you are clinching this ticket under the auspices of our party for the second time, the first in Port Harcourt four years ago, and today, to God’s glory.
“As a bastion of democracy and good governance in our country, I do not doubt that your nomination by our party at this critical juncture in our nation’s quest for Great Leap Forward is a good omen.
“On behalf of the government and good people of Sokoto state, the PDP Governor’s Forum, which I humbly chair, our party men and women, I felicitate with you.
“I assure you we are desirous of working closely with you to ensure our party’s victory next year by God’s grace.”
