The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu
Tambuwal, has vowed to resist any attempt to stop his inauguration for second
term in office.
In a statement yesterday by his
Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties, Alhaji Yusuf Dingyadi, the governor
alleged of plots to cause political chaos in the state.
He said that certain individuals
were spreading lies and creating confusion that the court was going to remove
him from office and give power to the APC.
Tambuwal added that his posters
along Birnin Kebbi Road, Maiduguri Road, Airport Road and some other areas
within the metropolis had been removed and replaced with those of the APC
governorship candidate.
Tambuwal stressed that only legal
means could stop his government.
The statement reads, “Election is
over, we have won the election and we have offered a hand of fellowship, we
asked them to come so that we develop Sokoto State, they refused and went to
court, why can’t they allow the court to pass its verdict?
“You can’t take your case to
court and start making political noise and telling people lies when even the
court has not started its own assignment.
“We are still in the process of
pre-hearing, we didn’t even get to the time witnesses are called to testify on
the election manipulation they alleged, yet they have started going round
telling people lies, especially in the rural areas, they want to show that
government is coming to them.”
The governor advised the
opposition to allow the court to their work.
He continued, “PDP in Sokoto is
not looking for any backdoor judgement. You allow the court to do what is
needful, we have confidence in court because we won election with divine
intervention.”
He called on law enforcement
agencies in Sokoto to stop what he described as political rascality in Sokoto
State.
“We don’t want any political
crisis, we don’t want any tension in Sokoto, Sokoto people are peace-loving, we
call on security agents to investigate and find out the sponsors of the
political rascality in the state,” he said.
