The primary opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, has been characterized by the ruling All Progressives Congress in Sokoto State as a party that has lost its direction and is making every effort to remain influential in the state.
This is stated in a news release that was given to our correspondent on Thursday and was signed by the state chairman of the APC, Isa Acida.
The new opposition group in Sokoto, according to Acida, had been working feverishly over the past two weeks to stay relevant.
This did not come as a surprise to us because they have chosen to deploy a new tactic known as “the pull them down syndrome” after realizing the futility of their legal arguments at the Governorship Election Tribunal.
“Unfortunately for the PDP, our governor, Dr. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto, is a performer who cannot be deterred or distracted in his determination to develop Sokoto State and change the narrative of backwardness and lack of performance that the PDP era was known for.

“Having read the content of the PDP Chairman’s letter on the road projects being executed by the new APC administration, we became convinced that the Sokoto State PDP is only envious of the intimidating achievements of Governor Ahmad Aliyu in less than fifty days in office”
The PDP, had in a letter signed by its chairman and addressed to the governor, accused the state governor of a breach of constitutional duty in award of contract without the approval of cabinet members.
In his reaction, the APC chairman said the projects are meant to serve the interest of the people of Sokoto State and no amount of political blackmail will distract the new administration of the All Progressives Congress, under our able, progressive Governor, Dr. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto.
“We are aware that the PDP leadership (now being teleguided from far away Plateau State), may not realise that Sokoto is changing fast for the better.
“This is only the beginning and more will be coming. We would rather listen to the positive voices of the masses than the rantings of rejected and frustrated politicians.
“However, we would like to advise the Sokoto State PDP Chairman, whom we know to be a Gentleman, to put politics aside, search his conscience and be patriotic enough to appreciate the excellent work of Governor, Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto, an achievement which, for eight years, their government failed to bring about”, he added.
