“Let me take you back a bit. In 2014, you came to me and said, Oga, I want to run for presidency but I remember telling you 'kadan-kadan' that the time is not ripe yet and you should go for Sokoto governorship instead which you did. Now, the time has come. Governor Tambuwal, now you are ready for the presidency.”
Speaking further, Chief George added that Governor Tambuwal possesses the right character, competence, and temperament to handle a multi-dynamic and complex Nigeria.
In Ondo, Governor Tambuwal was received by the immediate deputy governor of the state, Agbola Ajayi as well as the state PDP chairman, Fatai Adams.
He said:
“I appeal to your conscience to be fair to your party and the people of Nigeria. Do not compromise under any guise the trust given to you to go and nominate people that can win the election for our party.
“If we want to win 2023, you have a task for supporting a ticket that is electable and a pan Nigerian ticket. Ondo will play a central role in our government.”
The presidential hopeful said he is a pan Nigerian that would deliver the dividends of democracy that Nigerians had been yearning for.
The governor stated that he believes in the devolution of powers to the state and local governments.
Engaging delegates in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, Tambuwal said he would ensure that equity and transparency reign if given the opportunity to get the PDP ticket and wins the presidential election.
