Gov. Aminu Tambuwal. Sokoto State Governor. |
The
Governor of Sokoto State, Rt. Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has declared that
the state will deliver 100 percent victory to the Peoples' Democratic Party at
all levels of election despite effort of the opposition APC in the state to
distract the government from pursuing its goals and objectives. He stated this
on Wednesday at Silame, the headquarters of Silame Local Government where he
officially flagged off his re-election campaign which also coincided with his
53rd birthday celebration.
Speaking
before a mammoth crowd of party supporters and faithful, Governor Tambuwal
who is also the PDP Governorship candidate, reassured the people of his
determination to deliver on his campaign promises even as he insisted that all
candidates vying for all elective positions including the presidential candidate,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would be massively voted for by the people of the state.
"Sokoto
is a PDP state, there is no doubt about that. No matter what some propagandists
may say, this state will be delivered to PDP 100 percent. How can anyone claim that
50,000 of our solid and faithful members defected to APC in the small courtyard
of Senator Wamakko. We cannot be detained by the past, especially by those
who plundered the state resources and wanted us to keep quiet. By the special
grace of Allah, there will be no retreat, no surrender. We will not surrender
our state to people who do not mean well for our people" he added.
There
have been series of attempt aimed at distracting the focus of the Tambuwal-led
PDP government in Sokoto State for the ample fact that the government has
closed all leakages that made it possible for previous government to fleece the
state of its hard-earned resources and according to the Governor; "our
opponents are angry because we have refused to open the treasury to service
so-called godfathers and their thugs. Our mandate is with the electorates and
we will do everything humanly possible to deliver on our campaign promises
without equivocation. We are doing everything within our powers to ensure that
we forestall the incursion of any armed banditry that has continued to ravage
our sister Zamfara state. Our hearts and support are for our neighbours
always".
Tambuwal
also lamented the hunger and poverty that the ruling APC and the Buhari-led
Federal Government have brought upon the people and enjoined the people of the
state to vote out the APC. "Life has become unbearable to majority of our
people. Sokoto state has not benefitted from the Federal Government in the last
three years. When they realised I was about to leave the APC, they hurriedly
packaged a road contract in my village to plead with me not to leave. We cannot
continue to tolerate a government that has abandoned his people. The APC hates
to invest in our people. Sokoto state will punish the APC at the elections. We
will mobilise our people to come out enmasse to vote for PDP. We don't make
empty boasts like our opponents. We speak with our thumbs and PVCs and by next
month, we will humble them", he submitted.
The
level of insecurity across the country is growing by the day because of APC's
incompetence and failure of leadership. Only recently, Sokoto state had to take
extra-ordinary measures to checkmate armed militia that were trying to have a
foothold within the state. The primary responsibility of government is to
ensure the security of lives and property. Once a government begins to lament
like the average Nigerian, then such a government has no business being in
power. The APC has no discernible security architecture that would signpost the
roadmap out of our present helpless situation. The country needs a proactive
leadership to deliver the right approach to confront crises of insecurity,
hunger, poverty and gross unemployment.
