The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State, Isa Sadiq Achida, has accused former Governor Aminu Tambuwal of failing to properly hand over to Governor Ahmed Aliyu in 2023.
According to him, Tambuwal failed to do this because he is afraid of being held accountable for the state’s condition.
Addressing newsmen on Monday, Aliyu claimed Tambuwal left behind a legacy of abandoned projects and financial mismanagement.
Achida, however, commended Governor Aliyu for what he described as prudent financial management and visible development projects.
“Since his assumption of office, salaries are paid on or before the 21st of every month, the new minimum wage has been implemented, and major projects are ongoing, all without borrowing,” Achida said.
He added that Governor Aliyu was committed to the welfare of the people rather than “looting public resources.
On Tambuwal’s political future, the APC chairman argued that the former governor lacked an independent political base and relied heavily on political godfathers, particularly Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, to secure power.
According to him, Tambuwal is “politically retired” and unlikely to contest future governorship or senatorial elections.
“No Abuja alliance, no media propaganda, no recycled coalition can revive a politician whose only legacy is propaganda and a collapsed state,” the APC chairman said.
