TINUBU'S VICTORY, SIGN OF RENEWED HOPE FOR NIGERIA----WAMAKKO

APC Leader in Sokoto State, Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko (Sarkin Yamman Sokoto) has described the election of President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmad Tinubu as a great success and a sign of renewed hope for Nigeria.

Wamakko spoke on Friday at his Gawon Nama Residence shortly after returning from Abuja where he personally visited the President-elect at Abuja to congratulate him on his landslide victory during Saturday's presidential poll.

He expressed confidence that Asiwaju's government will bring more positive and numerous developmental projects to bolster the  growth of Nigeria.

He thanked the  people of Sokoto State for voting Senator Tinubu massively during the polls, urging them to replicate the feat  during the forthcoming Governorship and State Assembly elections.

 Wamakko also called on the electorate to come out en masse without any fear of intimidation from anybody and cast their votes to APC's gubernatorial candidate, Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto and all APC candidates for the seats of the State House of Assembly on March 11. 

In another development, Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko has expressed dismay over a video clip that went viral on social media platforms of a high personality in the State (PDP Member particularly), that he was calling on members of the vigilantee group and thugs to support him actualise his political dreams.

Wamakko said that the personality should know he  was given the Holy Book (Qur'an) to swear that he will protect the integrity, lives and property of the good people of all sokoto state, but he resorted to go violent just for achieving his political goals.

He advised that personality to fear the Almighty Allah to rescind his action in the best interest of the people of the state.  

Wamakko further explained that  on their part, they relied on Allah the Almighty Allah to help them not any human being, therefore, they will continue to pray for Allah"s intervention and help towards all their successes at all levels. 

In his statement signed by  Bashar Abubakar
S.A Media and Publicity to Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko said Wamakko refuted  the claim made by that personality as quoted saying that, Sokoto is facing challenges all over, but Wamakko said, "Sokoto is not facing any challenge as pronounced by the said personality (names withheld)."

He said that the statement was an act of ignorance, therefore urged the people to disregard it adding that Sokoto is peaceful. 

He concluded by calling on people of the state to go out peacefully on Saturday, the 11th of March and vote for the candidates of their choice and pray for APC to emerge victorious.

Meanwhile, APC gubernatorial candidate in the State, Hon. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto has received Alhaji Kasimu Malami Kofar Atiku from Sarkin Zamfara A Ward of Sokoto South Local Government who decamped to APC from the ruling PDP in the State.

Ahmad Aliyu, while welcoming the new comer into APC, assured him of equal treatment in the affairs of APC.

Kasimu Malami said he joined APC to ensure its success during the forthcoming gubernatorial election next week Saturday.
