The former Speaker of the House of Representatives made the declaration in Sokoto after a high-level stakeholders meeting.
Mr Tambuwal, who intends to run on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said he is not only well prepared but also ready to fix the numerous problem of the country as President of Nigeria.
According to him, the PDP remains the hope of Nigerians.
He called for unity among party members ahead of the general elections, noting that the PDP is ready to take over power from the ruling All Progressives Congress.
