…Says “My visit to EFCC voluntary”
The former governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto South, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, on Friday, vowed to mobilise Nigerians to vote against the return of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Tambuwal who was welcomed into Sokoto metropolis by his supporters from Sokoto, Kebbi, and Zamfara states, criticised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC-led government, accusing them of pushing Nigeria into economic hardship, insecurity, and political decline.
While addressing his supporters, Tambuwal called on Nigerians across all divides to unite and mobilise for the removal of Tinubu and the APC from power in 2027, insisting that the current administration has nothing to offer but more suffering.
“In 2023, we went round the country warning Nigerians not to vote for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a man whose leadership would throw this country into what I called Bola’s Garbage, and today, the hardship, hunger, and hopelessness you see around are proof of what we said,” Tambuwal declared to thunderous applause.
“My message is simple: we must join forces to send APC and Tinubu packing in 2027. The ADC and our allies will galvanise every corner of this country to make that happen. We will not be intimidated, we will not be silenced, and we will not allow the suffering of Nigerians to continue unchecked,” he vowed.
He also addressed recent reports of his appearance before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), describing the visit as entirely voluntary and a non-issue.
“My visit to the EFCC was voluntary, on my own volition. I was quizzed and released on self-recognition as a man honoured with the national honour of the Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR). Their so-called allegations that I withdrew over ₦2 billion monthly from the Sokoto State Government account are nothing but blatant lies. How much is even the state’s monthly allocation from the Federal Government?” he queried.
