Wammako remains undisputed leader of Sokoto APC — Group

An association under the umbrella of All Progressive Congress (APC) Northwest Alliance for Good Governance (NAGG), has emphasised the ongoing dispute in the Sokoto State chapter of the party is a needless distraction, saying the leadership of the party is safely in the hands of Senator Dr Aliyu Magatakarda Wammako.

This call was made in Kano, Thursday, during a press conference, shortly after a stakeholders’ quarterly meeting of the APC Northwest Alliance for Good Governance.

The Secretary of the group, Comrade Auwal Shuaibu said;  “You cannot stop internal wranglings in any political party, but what is supposedly going on in our Sokoto State chapter is an avoidable distraction.

He then emphasised; ” For years, the party has been peaceful and in tranquility, under the able and tactful leadership of Sen Wammako”.

However, for some over-ambitious elements to come from nowhere ànd try to usurp the leadership structure under Sen. Wammako is the height of deceit”.

He highlighted;  “Where were the usurpers, both Sen Lamido and Hon Gudu, when Sen Wammako was painstakingly building the structures over the years?

” I think it is in their best interest to desist from causing distraction and allow the party to remain in peace so as the governor’s should stay focus and deliver democratic dividends to Sokoto people”.

Earlier, the Chairman of the group, Amb. Abdullahi Muhammad said “In any case, Sokoto State is a major player in the entire Northwest political calculations. Sen Wammako has always been a critical contributor to the development of the region and the country.

The group hinted that he has provided direction and fatherly advise to all. His support for the incumbent governor, Dr Aliyu Ahmed is unflinching and refreshing.

So what is the need for all these make-believe stories about a crisis adding that ” Those instigating this should desist from doing so.”

We need to support both the governor and leadership of the party under Sen. Wammako.

He hinted that just recently, the governor awarded a 17 Billion naira Irrigation Project to Wurno local government. This is in addition to the massive infrastructure ongoing in Sokoto, and other interventions and policies touching lives positively”.

However, the event saw participants across the seven states which make up the northwest geopolitical zone.
