The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State has criticized former Governor Aminu Tambuwal, labeling him “politically retired.” State Chairman Sadiq Achida made the remarks at a press conference in Sokoto on Monday, arguing that Tambuwal lacks an independent political base and rose to power mainly through the influence of prominent figures such as Senator Aliyu Wamakko.
Achida said Tambuwal’s political future appears uncertain and that no amount of external support or media campaigns can revive a politician whose legacy is seen as built on propaganda. He noted that Tambuwal’s tenure as governor was marked by numerous incomplete projects and alleged that the former governor failed to formally hand over to his successor in 2023, apparently to avoid accountability for the state’s condition at the end of his term.
The APC chairman’s comments underscore the ongoing political tensions in Sokoto State, where the party is seeking to shape the narrative around Tambuwal’s legacy and influence. Given Sokoto’s significant role in Nigeria’s political landscape, the criticism reflects the complex and often contentious nature of Nigerian politics, where alliances and rivalries shift rapidly.
As elections and political maneuvering continue, the situation in Sokoto State is likely to remain a focal point for observers and analysts, and the APC’s remarks appear to be part of a broader effort to assert its influence and shape public perception in the region.
