Nigeria is in urgent need of a surgical operation-----Tambuwal
"We suffer from a crisis of Governance. The unity of Nigeria is facing unprecedented challenges. Life in Nigeria is increasingly becoming brutish and short as insecurity ravages the land. Poverty is the forte of the ordinary Nigerian. The health and education of our people have not improved. Our people are in want. The economy is in dire straits with the exchange rate now about N540 to a Dollar from the N150 to a Dollar when PDP left office. Prices of foodstuff and essential commodities are unsustainable. Clearly beyond the reach of the average Nigerian. "Between 35 to 40% of Nigerians are unemployed. And women and Youths bear the main brunt. Bandits, kidnappers, terrorists are having a field day. Almost unchallenged. Our children are not safe even in their schools. "Corruption still stalks the land. Nepotism, ethnic and religious bigotry reign supreme in today’s APC’s Nigeria. Our infrastructure is still comatose. Trust and hope in Nigeria is at their lowest. Our lamentations can go on, ad infinitum. But the test of leadership is the ability to solve problems. What solutions will PDP offer? What is the way forward? "Well, this is why we have gathered here, to brainstorm and offer policy options for Nigeria. We cannot only criticize, we must provide workable solutions and clear policy alternatives. This will be presented to the Nigerian people. A sharp contrast must be drawn with the ruling incompetent and rudderless APC administration.

Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal speaks in Abuja laments the present situation in the country said retreat coming at the heels of the highly acclaimed successful 2021 PDP National Convention is a time to think, plan, ponder and strategize on the way forward. For “by failing to (plan) and prepare, you are preparing to fail” (Benjamin Frankin). It shows unmistakably that the PDP is back. PDP is ready. PDP is poised to write a new positive chapter for Nigeria. A new Nigeria.
"A rickety vehicle cannot take Nigeria to its destination as a nation with possibilities for greatness and progress. PDP is now once again a well-oiled, serviced vehicle that will midwife the Nigeria of our dreams.
"It is indeed time to Rescue and Rebuild Nigeria. Nigeria is in urgent need of a surgical operation. Nigeria is in a permanent emergency," according to Tambuwal.
Gov. Tambuwal said that "We all know what the problems are. They are man-made. And is therefore resolvable. It requires a focused, determined, knowledgeable, and patriotic organization of like minds to build the critical mass necessary for a great leap forward. Yes, it requires leadership, with vision and discipline.

This will be presented to the Nigerian people. A sharp contrast must be drawn with the ruling incompetent and rudderless APC administration.
"PDP has shown that it has learned its lessons. It is ready for power in 2023. To provide hope where ineptitude currently exists. Where APC thrives in excuses, PDP will take responsibility. Where APC thrives in propaganda and deceit, PDP will be transparent with Nigerians. Whereas APC Government thrives in insecurity, PDP will secure Nigeria. Whereas APC presides over Nigeria as the poverty capital of the world, PDP will make Nigeria prosperous. APC has wrecked our economy, but PDP will salvage it. Where APC focuses on the selective anti-corruption fight, PDP will fight corruption with appropriate institutional reforms.
"Can Nigeria survive another 4 years of APC? The answer is a resounding No. It is too frightening to contemplate.
PDP remains the only credible alternative to APC and we cannot afford to fail Nigerians. We must keep hope alive. We can do it. Yes, we can, as Obama would say," he said
