The newly elected chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum (PDPGF), Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state, has conceded that there are issues among some governors elected under the party.
But he has stated his intention to reconcile the state chief executives as he noted that the issues are not beyond what could be tackled.
Tambuwal spoke in Abuja yesterday as he introduced himself to journalists in his new capacity as the new PDPGF’s boss, seeking support to make his assignment a success.
“There are issues here and there but they are not beyond us and we shall reconcile those who are having some issues with one another and also ensure that our party is firmly positioned for the challenges ahead,” he said.
The Sokoto Governor said he was committed to using the forum to foster unity and repositioning the main opposition party and therefore appealed for support and cooperation.
He said: “I am here first and foremost to present myself to you and request for your support and cooperation in the task ahead which is continuing to work with the National Working Committee and other organs of the party, for us to strengthen the party and to continue to build our democratic culture and build rule of law and constitutionalism in our country.
“We are appealing for your support and we know that you are a very important partner in this national assignment.
“And of course in foisting of peace among governors and indeed the entire party, I assure you that we are going to use this platform to bring everybody on board.”
