Governor Aminu Tambuwal, on Wednesday, hosted all the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, 2019 Presidential Aspirants, at his office, in Sokoto State.
The Aspirants were led by the party’s National Chairman, Uche Secondus.
The Aspirants included: former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; former Governors of Jigawa, Kano, and Sokoto States, Suleiman Lamido, Ibrahim Shekarau, and Attahiru Bafarawa; as well as the former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Turaki.
Condoling Tambuwal on the death of 49 people killed by bandits in the State, Secondus revealed that the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the Netherlands, was needless, because his country was passing through serious pain, as people were being killed almost on a daily basis.
According to him, the President had failed woefully in the area of security.
“The current Federal Government has failed woefully. It is important that Nigerians should look on to God for intervention, not the government again”, he said
Secondus added: “People now live in perpetual fear, because they do not know where the killing will happen next.”
He noted that Nigeria could not give an accurate figure of the deaths recorded from January to date, because what they see across the nation everyday, was blood flowing and bloodletting, which had never happened in the history of the nation.
“This is why I lead this high powered delegation to come here and condole you. We know you are in pain, and we are in pain too, because whatever happened in Sokoto, touches across the nation, because we are our brothers keepers. It is really a sad event”, he said
Responding, Tambuwal said that the State had been peaceful, until that unfortunate and sad event, which also displaced thousands of people.
He stated that the State Government and Security Agencies were doing their best to ensure it does not happen again.
While thanking them for the visit, the Sokoto Governor noted that they were consoled and touched by their show of love.
