Tambuwal was one of the long list of 12 candidates including four from his north western region that contested PDP presidential nomination.

Tambuwal was popular in the race and was among the top four candidates (Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Bukola Saraki) widely expected to win going by political permutations around his candidacy.

A number of factors including his young age among the contestants, political experience, his untainted records from corruption indictment boosted his chances going into the primary.

However, there were complaints by other aspirants that Wike was planning to manipulate the results of the primary to favour his candidate Tambuwal.
