The Politics of Insecurity in Sokoto By Dahiru Mohammed G/Madi I write, on behalf of a group of indigenes of Sokoto State, in pursuit of greener pastures in other parts of the country,
I write, on behalf of a group of indigenes of Sokoto State, in pursuit of greener pastures in other parts of the country, so far away from our home. And I, as all my brothers here, cannot ignore the smallest piece of news from my state. I feel happy and proud when good stories out of Sokoto reach me and very sad if I receive news of the slightest challenge that befall my place of origin.
This is why we, over here are so alarmed by the news of the recent attack on the PDP campaign convoy of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal by political thugs close to the gate of an APC office in Sokoto. That it occurred so close to the election, causes great concern about the fate of our state during the polls, against the background of the already existing state of insecurity in our state.
The APC in Sokoto is fast becoming identified with this adamant attitude. We recall that in 2019, only APC boycotted a meeting of all political parties called by the Sultan to address on violence-free elections, after which they were accused of carrying out several violent attacks on opposition supporters and communities during the elections.
It is so sad that we over here, are hearing allegations that certain prominent politicians are filing pressure on security agencies to release the culprits in the attack on Tambuwal’s campaign train..We totally support the governor’s insistence that those responsible for the reprehensible act should be prosecuted, no matter their status and whichever political party they belong to.
