Former Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives and now Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, has declared his intentions to run for office of the President in 2023.
Tambuwal who made the declaration on Monday in Sokoto, declared that he is the best man for the job.
The governor who was Nigeria’s House Speaker between 2011 and 2015, contested for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket in 2018 but lost at the October primaries.
He, however, said he will be running on the platform of the PDP, the country’s main opposition party.
Meanwhile, Tambuwal has now become the latest contender in the race to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023 — following the declarations of Bola Tinubu, Rochas Okorocha, Anyim Pius Anyim, David Umahi, Orji Kalu, amongst others.
