Former senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye disclosed the reason why Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State stepped down for Atiku Abubakar during the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, primary election.
Tambuwal, a former presidential aspirant had stepped down for Atiku during the party’s presidential primaries.
Speaking during TVC’s journalists hangout, Melaye said Tambuwal did not betray Gov. Wike as being speculated by the governor and many others.
He said there was was no written agreement between Wike and Tambuwal, for the former to allege that that he was Betrayed by the later.
He said: “Governor Tambuwal saw the necessity to elect a candidate that can unite Nigeria, because our dear nation needs a father figure who can unite everyone, someone who will be able to unite Nigeria and that person is Atiku Abubakar.
“Alhaji Atiku is sound and healthy, politically sagacious and intellectually sound. Atiku will not fail, he will win by a landslide.
“Whatever APC is going to do in terms of manipulation, Atiku is the next president of Nigeria. Our convention has shown that we are more united than ever. We are one big family.”
