Former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal has clarified that he is not part of the northern faction calling for President Bola Tinubu’s removal.
However, Tambuwal emphasized his full commitment to ensuring that the Tinubu administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are democratically voted out in 2027.
Speaking to Channels Television about his recent encounter with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Tambuwal noted that the Tinubu administration is uneasy with his activities within the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Asked if he will say that his trial by the EFCC is politically induced, he said, “Yes”.
When asked to name those after him, the politician added, “Those who are concerned are worried about my activities.”
On whether it is because of his political ambition, he said, “It’s because I’m fully involved in a process that would democratically and lawfully, by the grace of God, send this government out of office. [I’m] 100 percent committed to it.
“By the grace of God we’ll chase this government out of power, with the help of God and Nigerians.”
Asked if it is true that some people in the North are not happy with the Tinubu administration and are conspiring against it, he said, “It’s true that Nigerians are not happy.
“I’m not among some people in the North coming together to say that Tinubu must go. I’m involved in the national coalition that there should be a change of guard in Aso Rock through a constitutional democratic process on May 29.”
