The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has reportedly settled for Sokoto state governor, Aminu Tambuwal as the presidential candidate of the party in the coming presidential election in 2019. Tambuwal who is currently the sitting governor of Sokoto is a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was disclosed in a tweet by online news site, Sahara Reporters on Thursday, March 22. TPCN has however, not independently verified the development.
He was the former Speaker of the House of Representatives of Nigeria who represented the Tambuwal/Kebbe federal constituency of Sokoto state.
On 28 October 2014, Tambuwal defected from the then ruling PDP to the opposition APC and in April 11, 2015, Tambuwal contested and won the governorship election of Sokoto state and was inaugurated on 29 May 2015.
