The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Tambuwal Local Government Area of Sokoto State has accused former governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of neglecting his home constituency during his time in office. The allegation was made at an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Tambuwal, where party leaders criticised what they described as a lack of meaningful development in the area under his administration.
Speaking at a meeting, the APC local government chairman, Isa Sadiq Achida, also faulted Tambuwal’s reported involvement in a political coalition, describing it as a reassembly of familiar political actors rather than a fresh movement. He urged residents, especially youths, to support continuity under the APC instead of aligning with what he called recycled political interests.
The meeting also featured the formal reception of defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including three former councillors. In separate remarks, Commissioner for Higher Education Prof. Ala announced the approval of three new secondary schools for Tambuwal Local Government Area, while the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Aminu Dikko, said several indigenes had secured political appointments under the current administration.
Dikko dismissed speculation about any personal political ambition, saying he would abide by party decisions. Efforts to reach Tambuwal for comment were unsuccessful, while the PDP spokesperson, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, said the party would respond at an appropriate time.
