The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal has urged youths to reject any offer to act as political thugs during the elections.
Tambuwal, the director-general of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, said this while addressing a campaign rally in Binji and Tangaza LGAs of Sokoto, on Tuesday.
The governor advised the youths to not allow themselves to be used to undermine peaceful coexistence through violence and chaos.
“You should ask any politician who invites you into political thuggery to align you with his sons and daughters,” he said.
According to the governor, Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, is the only person who can change Nigeria’s political fortunes for the better.
He stated that Abubakar has devised workable strategies to combat banditry, corruption, and unemployment, address infrastructural decay, and improve Nigerians’ socio-economic lives, among other issues.
“Therefore, we should all give our votes for PDP candidates from the president to the state house of assembly in order to benefit the best Nigeria of our dreams,” he said.
“We should safeguard our permanent voter cards and avoid any person who uses the money to buy our votes for the best of our country’s future.”
On his part, Sa’idu Umar, the PDP gubernatorial candidate, pledged to maintain the legacy and dynamic style of Tambuwal if elected.
