2023: PDP will lose Sokoto South 1 House of Assembly seat if…..

Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State

BY ANKELI EMMANUEL, Sokoto

As the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) begin it’s primaries, concerned individuals among its fold in Sokoto have advised that they should be transparent in handling its consensus arrangements  so as not to lose members ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Speaking with journalists on the dangers facing the party if it imposes unpopular aspirants against the wishes of the people, a reliable source from within the party warned that, doing so will clearly be counterproductive.

Expressing his worries, the source said that the committee set up by the local government on consensus arrangements in Sokoto South 1 for the State House of Assembly seat, headed by Ibrahim Gidado (Tafarkin Sokoto) seems to have a predetermined mindset.

“I can tell you with confidence that the committee has its preferred choice even before calling the aspirants for a consensus meeting. And we all know that we are heading towards a general elections come 2023.

“Let us also not forget that the current House of Assembly member representing Sokoto South 1 is from the All Progressives Congress (APC). And if the PDP wants to reclaim the seat, then, they have to go for a popular candidate that has the acceptability and capacity to lead the party to victory.”

While insisting that, Hon Malami Ladan (Ardon Gagi) is the only aspirant that has that widespread acceptability to deliver victory for the PDP in the forthcoming 2023 Sokoto South 1 House of Assembly elections, the source added that, going for primary election to produce the peoples choice remained the best option and not imposition.

The source, who further vowed that they are equally ready to challenge any breach of the acceptable guidelines of the party in court prayed, however, that, things do not get to that point before the State governor, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal intervenes.
