Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji
Mukhtari Shagari, Tuesday said he will
become governor of Sokoto in 2015 by God’s
grace despite what his detractors are saying.
Speaking when members of the Mukhtari
Network paid him Sallah homage at his
residence in Sokoto, Alhaji Shagari said his
detractors would be disappointed when he
wins election to become governor of the state
in 2015.
“Some people are saying that I cannot win
election but whether they like it or not by
God’s grace, I will become governor of Sokoto
in 2015,”he declared.
He said he joined politics in order to serve
the people and ensure transformation in the
state.
Shagari who reiterated his support to
President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 re-
election bid, stressed that he has no reason to
betray the party that gave him the platform to
become a minister and deputy governor.
Earlier, chairman of the Mukhtari Network,
Malam Muhammadu Dealer, said 1,545
organisations in the state are backing the
aspiration of Shagari in view of his
antecedents and experience in administration.
