Tambuwal Backs Atiku Over Wike for Nigeria's Leadership Choice
Former Sokoto State Governor and current Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal expressed his support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike in Nigeria's future leadership choice. Tambuwal emphasized that his decision is based on principles of leadership rather than personal relationships.
This declaration comes amidst a strained political relationship between Tambuwal and Wike, with Wike openly criticizing Tambuwal and Atiku in the past. Tambuwal clarified his stance, mentioning that he had supported Wike's emergence as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The statement adds complexity to the dynamics within the People's Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2023 elections.
