No fewer than 400 former aides
and political appointees of the Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal on Monday
expressed their full support for the Governor, following his defection to the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The aides who were relieved of
their appointments by the Sokoto State government gave their support during a
solidarity visit to Tambuwal at the State’s Government House in Sokoto.
The Secretary of the former
Special Assistants, SAs, forum, Nasiru Shamaki who spoke on behalf of others
also debunked the purported resignation by those he referred to “as few SAs”.
He said this in reaction to
Sunday’s press conference by few of their former colleagues who claimed they
had resigned from the government.
Shamaki said before the “few SAs”
went to the press, the governor had “already dropped them and commended the
mature political decision of the Governor for the decision.”
“The decision was timely as it
will allow the SAs to pursue their partisan political interests without
hindrance or injury to the interest of the state government”, he said.
He reiterated that, “Overwhelming
majority of them are solidly behind the governor come rain, come shine and that
they still maintained their loyalty to him having moved to the PDP on the same
day he defected.”
Shamaki described the group as,
“disgruntled and rabble-rousers, who were bitter about the fact that they were
sacked.”
