Gov Tambuwal Taunts Gov Wike On Twitter After Winning Senate Seat
Governor Aminu Tambuwal has been declared winner of the Senate election held in Sokoto South senatorial district on Saturday.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned the Returning Officer, Abubakar Bagudu, who announced the election results, said the governor got 100,860 votes while the APC candidate, Danbaba Dambuwa, had 95,884 votes.
Tambuwal became the governor of Sokoto state in 2015 and he was re-elected in 2019.
The Senator-elect, a one-time Speaker of the House of Representatives, had his supporters taunting his estranged political friend, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state.
‘I am waiting for my good friend @Gov Wike to congratulate me. Tambuwal’ @Tambuwal Projects wrote on Sunday.
It will be recalled that former governor of Ekiti state, Chief Ayo Fayose, who apparently spoke on behalf of the G-5 governors headed by Governor Nyesom Wike, had last month posted a video of himself on social media pooping champagne while mocking the Sokoto state governor.
‘Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ayo Fayose. You know me and I know you.
I am so excited tonight, celebrating the victory of the PDP and my friends in the APC. All of you who have won your elections, congratulations. We wish you a very happy tenure.
But let me quickly say this. I am so excited particularly by the loss of Governor Tambuwal’s candidate in Sokoto.
You see, when a man is treacherous there’s a payback time. He betrayed the party in 2015, he ran back. He betrayed Asiwaju he went to meet him in APC. He betrayed Wike that sponsored him in 2019.
This is payback time and I appreciate the people of Sokoto for voting against Tambuwal. And I enjoin you again, vote against him in the rerun. . .the senatorial rerun. You see, you are wonderful people and God rules in the affairs of men.
It is time to pop champagne. Tambuwal is gone’ he had boastfully submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com
