Aminu Tambuwal, governor of Sokoto State, on Tuesday, held a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock.
The Sokoto governor, whose visit may not be unconnected with his aspiration for president in 2023, declined to speak to state house reporters on his mission to Aso Rock.
Tambuwal is one of the aspirants for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s presidential ticket for the 2023 presidential election.
The meeting with President Buhari comes days after the PDP’s consensus arrangements structured for four northern presidential aspirants failed.
The PDP presidential aspirants involved in the arrangement included Governor Tambuwal, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, former Managing Director of FSB International Bank, Mohammed Hayatu-Deen
