By Uche Mbah

Sokoto State Governor and Chairman, PDP Governors’ Forum, Aminu Tambuwal, has called on the rulling All Progressives Congress, APC, members who consider themselves patriotic to join the the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in its bid to rescue Nigeria.

Speaking at a Gala Night/ Dinner hosted in honour of PDP Governors by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Port Harcourt, Tambuwal said Nigeria has been divided into those who benefit from the status quo and those who want to rescue the Country.

According to him, the PDP Governors are working towards the rebuilding of the party.

“All Nigerians of goodwill who believe in this country, who believe Nigeria is going the wrong direction, ought to join us.

“And like I always say, there are two divides in Nigeria today. Those who are happy with the confusion because they are benefiting from what is happening at the centre, and those of us who are truly patriotic enough to disagree with the way our country is being governed and being run.

“I appeal and beseech every Nigerian, even those in APC that are patriotic enough to join hands with us as we continue to march towards rescuing Nigeria together.

“I believe it is our responsibility to do so, not for ourselves but for our younger ones and generation unborn,” he concluded.

Present at the gala night were, Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri (Adamawa), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Mohammed Bala (Bauchi), Samuel Ortom (Benue), Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu).

Others are the Deputy Governors of Rivers and Zamfara, Dr Ipalibo Harry-Banigo and Mahdi Aliyu Mohammed Gusau; PDP National Secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu, and several other party stalwarts.
