Our attention has been drawn to an ultimatum issued by some unscrupulous people who paraded themselves as APC members in Sokoto State by the name APC Adalci Buhari Sak demanding Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to declare his stand on President Buhari or risk more deadly opposition from them.
To say the least, this statement is nothing but only an attempt to factionalize our party, distract the Tambuwal administration, score cheap political point as well as deceive the gullible minds.
We wish to state categorically here that the Group APC Adalci Buhari Sak is unknown, while its members nonentities in the APC. There emergence is only to create false impression among the APC ranks and a distrust between Sokoto State APC and Governor Tambuwal on one hand, and the Buhari administration on the other.
The members of the so called APC Adalci Buhari Sak have never in one way or the other contributed to the development and progress whatsoever of the ruling APC in Sokoto State and country in general, hitherto contributed in creating and instilling choas in the party since coming together of many political parties (merger) to form All Progressive Party (APC), the party that salvage the country from the hand of detractors who deliberately intended to turn down the country to unprogressive society.
We want Sakkwatawa to take note that Dahiru Yusuf Yabo has been on self-imposed exile in Kano state, until when he realized the beginning of 2019 electioneering period is drawing nearer that he teamed up with his like-minds to wreak havoc on the party. His re-appearance to cash in and be relevant in Sokoto state politics is only an opportunity to hoodwink the people.
For Professor Lawal Bashar, his case is that of a drowning man who is trying in vain to survive in his political escapades. First, he faulted the sharing formula of political positions to the legacy parties that formed the APC, but he was squarely addressed by his colleagues from the old CPC led by Ibrahim Magaji Gusau, who is a Special Adviser to the Governor on political affairs. Having lost his first battle, he is now spearheaded the formation of this unknown, unregistered and subversive group by the name APC Adalci Buhari Sak group.
It is worthy of note that there has never been a single instance either secretly or openly when Governor Tambuwal demonstrated disloyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari, ever since the formation of APC to date. He has been a consistent and loyal adherent of political principles of President Buhari and the APC he helped came into being, as an alternative political platform.
On the issue of Governor Tambuwal’s alleged relationship with Governor Wike of Rivers state, it is a relation of both lawyers who know each other even before they joined partisan politics. Similarly, even if they are not colleagues in law practice, there is nothing sinister or wrong for governors to relate and work together for the good of their citizens and the country as a whole. Ever since the return of democracy in Nigeria such friendship and relationship do exist between governors from different political parties. It happened between former Governor Attahiru Bafarawa and Adamu Mu’azu, former Governor of Bauchi State. A school constructed by Bafarawa of ANPP was named after Adamu Mu’azu’s of PDP.
The group then dwelt on billions of public funds squandered without commensurate infrastructure, which showed they are either deaf and dump or being deliberately mischievous and hypocrites. It is on record that, in the last three years, the Tambuwal administration has done a lot in all sectors that would certainly launches Sokoto state to greatness. In the education sector, it declared state of emergency in the sector. In that regard, it built and equipped a Secondary school in Gudu local government area in the capital Balle worth over 1.2 billion naira.
