Senator representing Sokoto North in the National Assembly, Aliyu Wamakko, has said that Sokoto remains an All Progressives Congress, APC, state in spite of Governor Aminu Tambuwal’s defection to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Tambuwal returned to the PDP yesterday with 18 state lawmakers, stating that the APC was full of impunity and deceit. ”
DAILY POST reports that Wamakko and the Sokoto State Deputy Governor Ahmed Aliyu did not leave the APC.
However, in his reaction to the governor’s political move, Wamakko said the action of the defectors will not affect the chances of the APC in the 2019 elections.
Speaking on NTA last night, Wamakko said “Let me assure you that the Sokoto State where I come from is an APC state. The entire state is APC. Whatever you might have seen or might have been told, just take it as a mere story.
“The people of Sokoto are behind Mr President General Muhammadu Buhari, they are certainly behind Senator Wamakko their former governor, and all other leaders who chose to remain in APC.
“Insha Allah by Saturday or Sunday when I get back to Sokoto, you will see who is really in charge of Sokoto. I am assuring you that there is no cause for alarm.”
