Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has refuted the claim by the immediate past governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, that he informed him before withdrawing for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, during the 2022 presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His announcement that he had withdrawn from the race and that the delegates who were supporting him should vote for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar took me by surprise.
“Tambuwal is my friend, but he should take responsibility for his decisions and actions. He never discussed withdrawal from the race with me. I never contemplated withdrawing my candidature from the race and had nothing to do with the decision process that led to his withdrawal in favour of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”
