You’re hero of our convention, Ayu tells Tambuwal

A video has emerged showing the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Iyorchia Ayu describing Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State as the hero of the national convention that produced Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the party on Saturday.

The 33 seconds video appeared to have been shot in the Abuja residence of the former presidential aspirant who was seen receiving that party boss and former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido along with some unidentified other persons.

In the video posted on Twitter by Imran Muhammad using the username @imranmuhdz, Ayu could be heard referring to Tambuwal as “my chairman” with his hands clasped as he walked toward the governor to exchange pleasantries.

The Chairman of the PDP Governor Forum, replied in pidgin English, “me na small chairman (I’m a small chairman).”

While telling him “thank you, thank you,” Ayu informed Tambuwal that “You are the hero of the convention.”

The Sokoto State Governor stepped down for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the primaries, paving the way for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the PDP for the 2023 election.
