In what could be described as supporters harvest, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto state, has again received a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Haliru Aliyu Sanda Gudu Rinin Tawaye.
Sanda who dumped the PDP along with 700 other supporters of the party, said his decision was informed by his refusal “to allow himself to be used in deceiving the people of the state by the incumbent government of Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.”
He was received into APC’s fold by APC Chairman in the state, Isah Sadiq Achida and APC governorship candidate, Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto at the state party secretariat during the stakeholders meeting organized by APC Elders Committee in the state.
Speaking shortly after his defection to APC, Gudu said he is now contented by joining the APC.
According to him, “the PDP lacked the required ideology to govern the people as non of the promises it made was fulfilled.”
He expressed happiness for the caliber of personalities in APC, especially as it is being led by the former Governor of Sokoto state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, whom he described as a leader par excellence.
Also speaking, the APC chairman congratulated the new entrants and his supporters to APC and assured them that they will be fully accommodated.
The stakeholders meeting was attended by Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammadu Maigari Dingyadi; APC Deputy gubernatorial candidate, Idris Muhammad Gobir, among multitude of important dignitaries.
