The Sokoto governor stated this when he addressed the Anambra PDP delegates ahead of the party's national convention in Awka, Anambra state.
He noted that the major cause of the agitations such as Boko Haram, banditry, gunmen, and other security threats befalling the country was a result of idleness on the side of the youths and the All Progressives Congress-led federal government’s failure to engage them on meaningful ventures

His words:
“If I am elected as president, I will exhibit what I am currently doing in Sokoto state as governor.
“In my state today, the government under my watch pays school fees for indigenes and non-indigenes in all the public schools from primary to secondary school in the state and that is the policy I will maintain in the education sector if I am elected.”
Tambuwal said that among those vying for the highest office in the land, he was about the most qualified having been a lawyer and Speaker of the House of Representatives who handled matters at the federal level and governor of a state.
He added:
“I also have the competence, capacity, character, and the right temperament to handle national issues. The issues in Nigeria require somebody who is calm and has a large network of friends across the nation
“I am a pan-Nigerian. I know the challenges of Anambra state, so I can represent you well-heeled.”
