“These star-studded leaders of PDP governors in their respective states and political generals are determined by the grace of God through your prayers, support and cooperation, to rescue Nigeria.
“It is a task that we must accomplish to the glory of God and his glory alone.
“God on our side, we are determined as leaders, to provide that platform for the emergence of another PDP leadership in this country, come 2023,” Tambuwal said.
Tambuwal and his colleagues urged all citizens, especially religious leaders, to continue to pray for the country, especially over the spate of the security situation in the country.
“We need prayers. God is always there for His people and will never be tired of Nigeria for His glory,” Tambuwal added.
