Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to follow in the footsteps of former President Goodluck Jonathan by holding free, fair, and credible general elections across the country in 2023.
According to Governor Tambuwal, ensuring a peaceful and credible election that ushers in new leaders is the best gift President Buhari could give Nigerians in 2023.
He made the remark while speaking with journalists in Kaduna after meeting with former Kaduna State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, who had returned from medical treatment in the United States.
Former Governor Bafarawa, former Minister Mukhtar Shagari, lawmakers, retired Army officers, and many PDP chieftains accompanied the Governor.
Governor Tambuwal stated, “Despite all of the failures that Nigerians are witnessing in this administration, the only legacy that is left for Mr. President is to ensure that there are free, fair, and credible general elections in every part of the country, just as President Goodluck Jonathan did and handed over to him in 2015.”
Governor Tambuwal stated that the Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, has only one option in the country – to leave a lasting legacy of a credible election.
Makarfi urged PDP stalwarts and other party members across the country to unite and embrace one another in order to have a successful election next year.
“If we unite and accommodate each other,” Makarfi says, “we will have reason to smile at the end of the day in 2023.”
