The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sokoto State chapter, has cautioned the All Progressive Congress (APC) administration of Governor Ahmed Aliyu against resorting to vendetta against members of the immediate past state government.
The party, in a press statement by its publicity secretary, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, on Monday, also commended the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal for appearing before the commission of inquiry set up by the current administration.
Part of the statement read: “The PDP expresses grave concern over recent developments involving the immediate past governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, and the present Sokoto State government.
“Earlier, Senator Tambuwal appeared before the Justice Mu’azu Abdulkadir Pindiga-led Sokoto State judicial commission of inquiry instituted by his successor, Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto.
“Accompanied by his legal team and officials of his administration, Senator Tambuwal presented himself in response to the commission’s summons.
“Senator Tambuwal’s appearance underscores his commitment to upholding the rule of law and respecting constituted authorities.
“As a party, we reiterate our unwavering support for Governor Tambuwal and commend his dedication to transparency and accountability in governance”
The statement added that Senator Tambuwal’s action portrayed him, as a ‘good value and addition’ to the rule of law- “which will ultimately set the record of integrity and prudence bequeathed by his administration during its years at the helm”.
It recalled that on assumption of office in 2015, Tambuwal had vehemently rejected the idea of inquests, from even their rank, into numerous institutional infractions unleashed to the state by his predecessor, cutting across sectors.
This, the statement explained, proved Tambuwal’s cosmopolitanism driven by the principles of respect to modern day political civilization.
“However, we cannot overlook the concerning implications of these developments. The timing and nature of the inquiry raise questions about potential political motivations and attempts to intimidate Senator Tambuwal after successfully completing his tenure as governor of Sokoto State.
