Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant says he will restructure Nigeria, as well as ensure devolution of powers and fiscal federalism if elected president.

“I assure you by the grace of God when we get the mandate of our party, and we eventually win the elections, it’s going to be a partnership between the federating units and the federal government at the centre,” Mr Tambuwal said.

Mr Tambuwal said this on Friday in Asaba while consulting with the PDP delegates in Delta ahead of the party primary.

Continuing, the presidential aspirant said “It’s high time we sat down and engaged on how best we can achieve efficient management and governance of the country, so that Nigeria can work for all of us.

“I also believe in devolution of powers and also giving more resources to states and local governments.

“I believe that for us to arrest the degenerating issue of insecurity in this country, we must revisit the issue of state police and strengthen the security architecture of communities and the state level to ensure lasting peace in the country.”

He said that the next president of the country must pay attention to the yearnings of Nigerians on restructuring, devolution of power and fiscal federalism.

Mr Tambuwal said that without addressing the issue of restructuring and other constitutional amendments the country could not move forward.

Tambuwal said that as a governor and a former House of Representatives Speaker, that he understood all the issues bedevilling the Nigerian nation, and assured that he would partner with relevant stakeholders to resolve and find lasting solutions to the country’s problems.

“We must have a President that can speak to Nigerians, that can engage and discuss and find solutions to problems.

“All of these can be achieved if we have a President who understands the constitution and has friends across the country to deliver the dividends of democracy to Nigerians,” Mr Tambuwal said.
