Tambuwal said:
“We are pleased to report to you and indeed Nigerians that the campaign is ready to move. By the grace of God, we are flagging off the campaign this coming Monday, the 10th of October 2023 at Uyo Akwa Ibom states.”
All arrangements have been made to have a very successful flag off of the campaign.
“Our campaign is going to be issue-based. We're going to be marketing our candidates based on the program that we brought out, which is generally solution based.
“Atiku is very well prepared to provide the required leadership for this country at this time. He has the experience in governance at the federal level, which I believe none of the rest of the candidates can match. This is not the time for Nigerians to go for trial and error.
“It's time for Nigerians to give it to the person that has been tested and who has experience do a good job, who would from day one hit the ground running as we have done for the inauguration of campaign council the very day INEC lifted the ban on campaigns for presidential election campaign on the 28th.
“Even that should confirm to Nigerians that this is the only party and indeed candidate that is prepared and ready to go.”
“We seek for the collaboration of Nigerians and the understanding as we go about campaigns as I said, ours is going to be based on issues and we seek to have a violence-free electoral process. In any case, our principal has been known to be a peaceful man and his personality speaks for him as a gentleman.”
When asked about the internal wrangling in the party, and how to work with the aggrieved colleagues, Tambuwal said:
“We're not involved in a war of attrition. It is a political disagreement and we're working to resolve all of those issues.”
