Sokoto 2023: Fresh tension in Tambuwal's camp as powerbroker Sahabi Bojo joins Wamakko in APC

The Peoples Democratic Party in Sokoto state has suffered another major setback with the shift of support base by Alhaji Sahabi Bojo and thousands of his supporters to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Bojo, a PDP stalwart from Sokoto South Senatorial District where Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal comes from, recently led thousands of his supporters in a mass defection to the APC.

Bojo and his teeming supporters were received into APC by the leader of the party in Sokoto state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, Sarkin Yamman Sokoto who was assisted by lthe Minister of Police Affairs, Alhaji Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi, APC Gubernatorial Candidate in the state Hon. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto and APC Chairman, Hon. Isah Sadiq Achida, among many other party leaders.

Chairman of APC in the state, Hon. Isah Sadiq Achida, while welcoming Bojo into the party, assured him and his supporters of equal treatment.

The event was held at the residence of APC leader in the state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko at Gawon Nama, Sokoto, which was graciously witnessed by many prominent APC loyalists in the state.

It would be recalled that prior to Bojo and supporters moves, a similar media report of mass defection was reported in Isa Local Government Area of Sokoto Eastern Zone, where the leaders of the party ward executives at Turba, Bafarawa and Bargaja wards have defected to the APC, citing lack of trust as some of the few reasons that forced them out of the PDP.

In Turba Ward, some prominent members of the PDP that reportedly defected to APC, in the state were: Alhaji Sa’idu Kyaibaba, the Legal Adviser to the PDP in the ward, Alhaji Umaru Shalla, Financial Secretary, Ibrahim Dadi, Assistant Financial Secretary; and many others.

Similarly, at the Bafarawa ward in the same Isa local government area, many leaders have left PDP for the APC as they largely blamed their leaders at the state level for not showing any concern for their plight.

Let the evil party perish

Politics is a Chess game, let see how it's goes.

Birds of a feather perching on APC/PDP corrupt trees...

Asiwaju coasting to victory

Lazy People of Pandora IPOB cants win any state outside of SE

Wammako is very strong in Sokoto.

He’s just pulling everybody from PDP.

Let me say it for the umpteenth time, Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria.

Tambuwa is getting it wrong this time around.

I see Gov Wike pumping logistics to Sokoto APC codedly, just to render Tambuwa uselesss for his moves against Wike during PDP primaries.

I sensed great danger for Tambuwa when Gov Wike invited sen Wamakko for project commissioning after he lost out in the Presidential primary.

Above all, Sen Wamakko is up to standard in the task ahead. APC must surely reward committed minds like Wamakko by Fielding his competent followers for appointments when constituting Asiwaju government.

Tambuwal is very stupid and dumb! Or maybe he has an ulterior motive.. how can u survive with only 300 votes even after going through inconclusive.. and then anoint an unpopular candidate after failing woefully as governor
