Former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has claimed that he served Nigeria meritoriously, adding that nothing can destroy his record of service.
He made this known while addressing a large crowd of supporters who were at his residence in Sokoto to welcome him back to the state, following his arrest.
TheNiche had earlier reported that the federal lawmaker representing Sokoto South in the Senate, was recently invited for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
While addressing his arrest by the anti-graft agency, Tambuwal described it as an attempt to intimidate him into joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“What they failed to realize is that I cannot be intimidated, I cannot be blackmailed, and no one can tarnish my records that God has given me,” he said.
“From my time in the House of Representatives in 2003 as Minority Leader, to Deputy Chief Whip in 2007, to Speaker in 2011, and then as governor of Sokoto for eight years, and now a Senator, I have served my people and Nigeria well.”
Tambuwal went on to insist that the allegation of ₦189 billion against him was baseless, noting that even past investigations by the Sokoto State government found nothing against him.
He further declared that Nigerians are ready to reject the APC in the 2027 general elections.
“We are determined. We are committed to democratic efforts, and we will join forces with all Nigerians to make sure that, by the grace of God, in 2027 we end this misrule and misgovernance in our country,” he said.
He accused the ruling party of running policies that harm ordinary people and of creating insecurity across the country.
“Their policies are anti-people. They have no compassion, they have no human feelings,” Tambuwal added.
The Senator assured his supporters that the opposition remains resolute.
“We will not allow any election to be rigged again. By 2027, Nigerians will make their voices heard, and with God on our side, we are headed for victory.”
