Alhaji Mukhtari Shagari, the Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, had on Tuesday declared that he will become Governor of Sokoto state come 2015, irrespective of what his critics are saying.
He made this known when members of the Mukhtari Network paid him a Sallah visit at his residence in Sokoto.
The Deputy Governor said his detractors would be frustrated when he wins the Governorship position in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
“Some people are saying that I cannot win election but whether they like it or not by God’s grace, I will become governor of Sokoto in 2015,”he said.
He stated that he joined politics in order to serve the people and foster growth and meaningful development in the state.
According to Daily Times, Shagari re-emphasized his support to President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 re-election bid, and stressed that he had no reason to betray the party that gave him the platform to become a Minister and Deputy Governor.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the Mukhtari Network, Malam Muhammadu Dealer, said 1,545 organisations in the state were in support of the aspiration of Shagari in view of his past history and experience in administration.
