Sokoto state remains APC, solidly for President Buhari – Wamakko

By Ado Hassan, Sokoto

The Chairman, Northern Senators Forum, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko,  says Sokoto State remains entirely an All Progressives Congress (APC), State, which is solidly behind President Muhammadu Buhari.

Senator Wamakko made the remark Wednesday in reaction to Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal’s defection to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP), alongside eighteen members of the State House of Assembly and other supporters.

However, the State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu, Senator Ibrahim Gobir, seven House of Representatives members, twelve other members of the State House of Assembly and hundreds of thousands of other people in the state have vowed to remain in the APC.

Wamakko, who is the immediate past Governor in the state and representing Sokoto North Senatorial District said, ” the people of the state are also solidly behind me, other Senators, other House of Representatives members and elders who have chosen to remain in the APC.

” Whatever crowd you might have seen or told, just take it as a mere story.

” As a matter of principle, it is not in my character to abuse people, but, what i am assuring is that, Sokoto state is an APC state .”

The lawmaker maintained that in the next few days, Nigerians would know who is really in charge of Sokoto State.

He assured that, there was no cause for alarm, adding, ” but, i pity my younger brother, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. He is a very promising young politician, with full potentials.

” But, may be something else is guiding his decision. This is the worst decision he has taken in his life.

” At his age, he should not be in a hurry. He is a fine young politician,  I have a lot of respect for him.

” If he had taken the consideration of the people he is representing and the people of Sokoto State, he should not have gone into the PDP .”

The listening Wamakko further recalled that, Governor Tambuwal was part of the crusade about dumping the PDP in 2015,  but noted that, there is nothing about PDP as  a party now.

He expressed hope that Tambuwal would rescind his decision and come back to the APC.

He further noted that , the recent gale of defections at the National Assembly have not and will never make the APC a minority party at both the chambers of the assembly, contrary to the general assumptions of Nigerians.

Wamakko however, opined the defections were a good omen for the party and that, ” it is currently making stocktaking, hence, it is coming out stronger .”

He promised that most of the defectors were trying to come back into its fold, adding, ”in the next few days or months, Nigerians would be surprised how the APC is going to fare .”

The APC Senator also averred the current flurry of defections were common since the return of democracy in 1999, saying, ” parties making  realignments and mergers is just normal .

” That is the beauty of democracy. People should be given the freedom to be where they want to be. Is not unusual.
