There is trouble brewing in Sokoto state, as the governor of the state, Alahaji Magatakarda Wamakko is about to face the embarrassment of being in a different political party from his deputy, Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari, who has refused to cross carpet with him to the All Progressive Congress, APC, electing to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.



It would be recalled that Shagari was a minister of water resources under the PDP administration of Olusegun Obasanjo, and has a longer history in the party than the governor who was previously in the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP, before he cross carpeted to the PDP in 2006 After he had a falling out with his then boss, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa, whom he served as deputy governor.



wamakko is one of five PDP governors who recently cross carpeted to the APC.



This would be the first time in Nigeria's history that a governor and his deputy would belong to different parties.



It would further be recalled that Major stakeholders in the Sokoto state chapter of the PDP last week visited the PDP headquarters in Abuja and declared loyalty for the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, stating that they would not cross over to the APC with Wamakko and that he was on his own.

HAHAHHAHAHHAAH FTC (so where is awa source na?)

I know Muktar Shagari to be an honorable man and he has earned it once again. He is a westernized aboki, not like his mu mu oga

Then let them fight and whoever winner takes it all; SHAGARI though for me should just resign and go build PDP in Sokoto to a powerful force.

Shagari should resign When the people elected PDP?. Wamako is autocratIcally delivering Sokoto to APC without the say of the people - that's undemocratic-he should resign.

While APC is busy pointing one finger at PDP, the rest four are pointing at them. APC will never win this battle.
