A statement by Tambuwal’s spokesman, Muhammad Bello, indicates that the governor said the advice became imperative against the backdrops of the outcomes of recent bye-elections in Abuja Municipal Area Councils, Cross River, Imo, Ondo, and Plateau states.
The Sokoto governor advised the PDP to study and analyze the bye-elections and take note of the “problems in APC and take lessons from these elections going forward.”
He noted that PDP leaders must be united in the quest for a credible, strong, virile, purposeful, and focused leadership “with the objective of rescuing Nigeria.”
Buhari will hand over to us - Tambuwal
Governor Tambuwal also challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to “improve the process and the electoral system in Nigeria so that, by the grace of God, when we win, he will hand over to us as a party, God willing.”
The chairman of the PDP Governors Forum said the president "should have the interest of this country at heart, not APC and not any individual."
His words:
"This country has been kind to President Muhammadu Buhari. He seized power in 1984 and was elected President after having been forgiven by Nigerians for truncating democracy.
“What he owes Nigeria, now…is the establishment of the security of lives and property; and, free and fair electoral process."

The former governor maintained that the aspirant has the capacity to emerge as President Buhari's successor, going by his experience in all arms and levels of government.
