Awwal D. Tukur, governorship hopeful and the eldest son of the immediate past national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bamanga Tukur, has debunked reports which claimed that he has dropped his governorship ambition and was now in support of former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; LEADERSHIP reported.
Tukur said, "The long and short of it is that I have not withdrawn from the gubernatorial race. I intend to declare my intention to contest the gubernatorial race at the appropriate time.
"Everyone can aspire for the gubernatorial seat and we welcome them. When I dropped my ambition for Nyako in 2011, I came here to announce it."
Speaking further he cautioned the party against imposition of candidates, saying that any attempt to impose candidates would be vehemently resisted by other contestants in the party. He said the party should not repeat the mistake of 2007 where no gubernatorial primary was conducted in Adamawa State and Nyako foisted on the people as the party’s flag-bearer.
"I don’t think people are willing to accept imposition anymore, whether in Adamawa or any other part of the country, as people are now wiser than before. The party has burnt its fingers in many parts of the country. We have been patient enough, but our patience should not be taken for granted", Tukur said
