This is just as the group flayed the recent attacks on Senator Tambuwal by those it described as ‘dictators’ afraid of the growing political profile of the former Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“Tambuwal had shown interest in the PDP presidential nomination long before some people suddenly appeared on the since and 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 or not, didn’t matter.”

Lauding the leadership quality of the former Governor, the group argued that Tambuwal’s broad-mindedness played a huge role in his unanimous election “As the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, a position usually reserved for majority party Governors,” stressing that he successfully “Rallied round the entire Nigerian Governors to speak with one voice and assist the nation at its trying times of transition.

“He has demonstrated the capacity to forge alliances within his team for good cause. He has also shown that he is not over-ambitious. He demonstrated the political equivalence of supreme sacrifice by voluntarily relinquishing his quest for PDP presidential nomination in 2022 when he was a strong enough contender to clinch the ticket.

“To those who are sponsoring these attacks on Senator Tambuwal, let them first purge themselves of the ignoble roles they played in the last presidential elections. Some Nigerians have no shame.” The group also counseled the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio ‘Not to allow people to destabilize the Senate by dabbling into the Minority leadership issue of the 10th Senate but to concentrate instead on assisting Mr. President to deliver sound legislation and good policies to ensure good governance in Nigeria at this critical period of change and leadership.”All rights reserved.
