Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal


Adeniyi Olugbemi, Sokoto

Two hundred and fifty-two Special Advisers and Special Assistants appointed under Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal’s administration have resigned their positions.

The affected aides said their resignations were informed by the recent decision of the Sokoto State Governor to dump the All Progressives Congress, the party which they are bona fide members of in the state.



They stated that their resolve to remain in APC will not allow them to function in their respective positions under Tambuwal’s government.

Addressing journalists on Sunday in Sokoto, the spokesman of the SAs, Hon. Dasuki Haske, also said their decisions were hinged on their loyalty to the party.

“We deem it fit to state categorically that we are not ready to join Governor Tambuwal in his new party. That was what informed our decision. We will remain in APC and there is no going back.

“We are members of APC before taking up our appointments as SAs and it was based on our membership values that we were given such positions. Now, we have resigned because the governor has not performed well since inception to justify our support for him.

“We want to assure that we will work for the success of APC in the state come 2019 general election. We will work for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari and our state party leader, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko,” Haske said.

Another speaker, Abdullahi Ahmad Sokoto, said all the ex-aides will work for the success of APC in the state.

He added that the party remained the one to beat in any election.

Also speaking, a former Special Assistant, Hajia Rabi Tudunwada, alleged that she and other aides of the governor were called and compelled to swear with Holy Qur’an to secure their promise to defect from APC before they could be paid their August salary.



Hajia Tudunwada disclosed that some of them had refused to be part of the oath, which informed their decision to resign from their respective positions.

She posited that both PDP and Governor Tambuwal will be rejected in the forthcoming general elections by the electorate.

Responding, the state APC chairman, Hon. Isah Achida, thanked the affected Special Advisers and Assistants for their loyalty to the party.

He also promised them rewards for their “steadfastness and commitment to the party.”

“We thank you for being loyal to the party and we are assuring you of equal treatment as loyal party members.

“We have taken cognizance of your loyalty and commitment,” Achida stated.

What his he doing with 252 aids,so wasteful,

And some peaple are suffering in d same state,what's the role of all d sa,am waiting for dose dat will defend dis charade of wastefullness

My junior brother who is an active PDP member said that Tambuwal movement to PDP is the worst political permutation he has witnessed so far.
He said nobody was dragging the APC structure with him in Sokoto, he had no rival in PDP against his re-election in APC, nothing can justify him migration because he cant get the presidential ticket the dangled in his face.

Tambuwal is as good as gone

Tambuwal should know this by now, "a tree does not make a forest"

TRULY The Popularity Of Buhari In The North Is Incontestable And Undisputed.

Wailers over to u

This Tambuwal faux pas is the biggest political blunder known to mankind, nothing explains it, nothing can justify it.

My people have a saying " Home is the resting place after a farming season/sojourn".... No matter how alluring or enchanting it is outside, when the sun sets, it's to return home... Tambuwal totally forgot how the "homestead" really /was when he was allowing Wike & co gass up his head that they have a solution to the chronic PDP problem called Hurricane Buhari!

Saraki that he helped secured support from NASS/PDP in his SP coup, has shown him his true colour in less than a few weeks.... Kwankwanso has seen the foolishness in his Ill conceived moves & wishes he too could backtrack....


Where is that R.Kelly track by way? It fits right here..

Chai!

Two hundred and fifty-two Special Advisers and Special Assistants appointed under Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal’s administration have resigned their positions.

252 special advisers!

Is that even possible?

And by the way, what are they advising the governor on sef...?

These our politicians can appoint plenty advisers yet they don't make any tangible progress or bring about any tangible development.

It's all a means of sharing money...

Someone is in deep poo.

Tambuwal will come back to APC before November

Great. Karma is a bitch. PDP is going to lose big time presidency polls in the south south... GEJ's payback time is here

Politics, APC will never allow any defector defect in peace, na wa for this kind party, Na North Korea?

dafemnet:
Tambuwal will come back to APC before November

In your dreams

LIKE FAYOSE,TAMBUWAL IS IN CIFIA PAIIINN...

Of all the politicians I've met, it appears Tambuwal is the most naive!

I used to think the gentleman was smart.

Fake news

How do you have 252 aides ?
You mean gate men ?

2019 will be intresting

He will appoint other people na

Ravages of betrayal every where! Tambuwal has made a grave mistake of his political career.... Sen. Aliyu Wamakko is fully in charge of sokoto state politics take it or leave it...

what does he need 252 aides for? we cant develop with this kind of system.

Oh my Tambuwal. Na so polical career take end. He won't win presidential primaries, he won't be re elected as governor.

New Jobs for new. Families! #iStandWithBuhari #BuhariTill2023

My own concern is what does these 252 aides do for the state?

Obviously, this is why we spend so much money servicing political offices.

Imagine

Let ths fools resign, more money to the state coffer..no room for the hungry Daura followers.
