Allegation That Aminu Tambuwal Betrayed PDP Is Nonsense – Group

Political pressure group, The PDP Action 2023 has come out to say that the former governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal never betrayed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigeria in the course of his service to the party and the nation.

The Chairman of the group, Dr Rufus Omeire recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the ongoing allegation that Tambuwal betrayed the party during the PDP presidential primary election in 2022 is nonsense, and PDP members should not take it seriously.

The group added that ever since who will emerge as the minority leader of the 10th Senate became the talk of the town, various unfounded allegations and sponsored stories against Tambuwal have surfaced in the media.

His words, “They alleged that he has once betrayed some people and PDP. Behind these allegations is an attempt to re-litigate the 2022 PDP presidential primaries.”

“They have consistently tried to pin on him the issue of betrayal of some of his friends because of the patriotic role he played during the PDP National Convention.”

“They expected him to drop out for them just because they believed that they had more financial resources than him, whether they had better programmes for Nigerians didn’t matter.”

“Tambuwal has shown himself to be a team player and a responsible and sophisticated leader with bright ideas on the development of the Nigerian nation.”

“He didn’t betray the PDP or the nation in his eight years as Sokoto State Governor. His colleagues trusted him with the leadership of the PDP Governors Forum. An office he handled with distinction and aplomb.”

“In fact, at a time, the Forum became the only true voice of constructive opposition in Nigeria, always proffering workable solutions to Nigerian problems. Did he betray PDP then, of course not.”
