The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, on Thursday in Abuja purchased the Peoples Democratic Party presidential nomination form.
He also said that he was prepared for the Presidency in 2019.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, told journalists that he was not bothered about the hostility from the ruling All Progressives Congress and President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said he was used to hostility, adding that the way he emerged and survived as the speaker was a testimony.
He said, “I believe you need to check back my political antecedents. I have always been confronted with this kind of hostile environment.
“You remember how I emerged as Speaker of the House of Representatives and how I remained there as Speaker of House of Representatives.
“So, I am not discouraged by whatever that may come up as a challenge from the administration. I’m prepared for the race and the Presidency.”
On consensus, he said there was no need to handpick anyone, insisting that all aspirants must be ready to go for primary.
He added that he believed that the leadership of the party “is capable of organising a free, fair and credible primary election.”
The governor said, “I can’t say there is no need for consensus; it is part of democratic process. If there is a possibility of it, why not? If it is not possible, then, we all go for the primary. But I believe that the PDP of today is capable of organising free, fair, credible and transparent primaries.”
Tambuwal added that the herdsmen/farmers’ crisis remained a major security concern to every Nigerian, adding that the country must look at the issue very comprehensively and proffer solution to it.
