Aminu Tambuwal, the governor of Sokoto State, has accused Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi of waging an ethnically motivated campaign.
According to news sources, the Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council stated that the LP flag bearer does not have Nigeria’s best interests in mind.
Tambuwal said at a PDP presidential campaign event in Yola, Adamawa, on Saturday that the LP does not have 170,000 polling agents to work for the former Anambra state governor’s election.

The governor stated that Nigeria cannot afford to put its affairs in the hands of a presidential candidate who has federal-level experience.
Tambuwal stated that only the PDP’s flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar, has what it takes to lead Nigeria since, unlike other presidential contenders, he is knowledgeable and trustworthy.
He said: “The argument has been made, issues have been joined and it is clear that only Atiku and Okowa are prepared to lead this country in a united manner.
“Atiku is competent, he has the capacity that we require today. We must not make the mistake of voting for APC again.
“I will not talk about Labour because their candidate when he was the governor of Anambra state was not able to conduct one single local government election.”

Tambuwal then challenged LP supporters to list the accomplishments of their presidential candidate when he was governor of Anambra State.
The governor of Sokoto also admonished the youths with mobilizing their parents and the elderly to vote for the PDP candidate on February 25.
He added: “I challenge the Labour people to bring that record where Peter Obi was able to conduct a local government election, so how can he now be attempting to be president of Nigeria when as governor he could not organize local government elections?
“He is not democratic enough. In any case, his candidature is tainted by ethnic chauvinism and we know what that will portend for Nigeria.

“In any case, his party has not been able to even field enough candidates for national assembly elections. And in any case, they have not been able to muster agents over the 170, 000 polling units.”
