Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has appealed to United States Government to intervene in the prevention of what he called, ‘alleged harassment of electorate’ in next week’s governorship and state assembly elections.

Tambuwal made the request on Thursday when he received the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Stuart Symington, in Sokoto.

Tambuwal of the PDP is seeking re-election and he is being challenged by his former deputy, Ahmed Aliyu of the All Progressives Congress.

He told Symington that the just-concluded Presidential and National Assembly Elections witnessed harassment of leaders and loyalists of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to him, many PDP members were hounded and arrested by security agents on the election day.

“Our appeal is to ensure the electorate in whatever political parties are not intimidated or terrorised.

” Because our people were intimidated to the extent of failing to discharge their civic duties in the remaining elections, scheduled for March 9.

“As such, I want to appeal to the US envoy to call on the Nigerian government to allow the will of the people be granted during the forthcoming Governorship and State House of Assembly elections.

“The opposition has engaged in post-election violence, with attacks on citizens and razing many properties and houses within and outside the metropolis in the state, in a show of terror against perceived opponents and non-partisan members of the public.” he said.

He thanked the envoy for the visit, describing such as important for the peace and development of democracy in the state.

Earlier, Symington said that he was in Sokoto to encourage peace throughout the electioneering period and beyond.

“There is no any development that can come without peace, so I appeal on all stakeholders and the good people of Sokoto to ensure peaceful polls,” he said.

APC won Sokoto in the just concluded election. Likely, APC will win

You de fear ni?

Buharig will rig you out.

A man who twarted democracy in 1983, forged his WAEC, tactically supporting Islamist jihad and rigged his reelection can do anything.

Tambuwal already smelling loses like Saraki

This APC govt is always desperate and has used fear n arbitrary arrest of opposition elements b4 n during election days to muscle opponents to win.
Its very shameful n diagraceful.....always trying to change d will of the people by coercion, intimidation and violence.

Nigerian politicians are the most useless set of people. When it is time to loot the treasury they won't call anybody oo they will jejely do it with their cronies. We're getting there one by all of una go see.

PDP should seek America's Support in the next Election for all the 17 States plus FCT in which Atiku won the Presidential election.
And in addition, seek support in Kano, Katsina, Yobe, Borno and Sokoto, where Foreigners and underaged always vote.

Are you guys happy about this harassment of voters and opposition, Nigeria is tilting towards anarchy and you lot are jubilating, hmm, I hope you all have your visas

Hid eminent defeat is his source of worry

Why is he scared?
I thought PDP win Sokoto for Atiku?

cant we share ideas on this platform without insulting ourselves. I voted Buhari, and im proud I did, but pls take it easy on our brothers, we're family afterall. Thank you

tambuwal is gone. He caused downfall of GEJ in 2015 by betraying him. you shall repeat what you sow.

The US involvement won't change anything. These Western Dogs are just selfish. Whatever ways that favors them. Don't be decieved with their aftermath humanitarian actions. That one too na investment.

No be only America na Australia, crazy lots ...
