Former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal has said he would back former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike if faced with a choice on who should lead the country.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Saturday, Tambuwal said his political decisions have always been driven by leadership principles rather than personal ties.
He explained that his past disagreements with politicians, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, were based on policy and governance issues, not personal grievances. He has continued to maintain cordial relations with leaders across party lines.
“When it comes to leadership of this country and leadership of the people, tomorrow, not even today, I would rather support Atiku than Nyesom Wike. It is a collaboration. It is not something difficult. Once it is about being altruistic and nothing personal. You have never seen me going against President Bola Tinubu personally, you have never heard of me going against Nyesom Wike personally,” he said.
