Buhari’s Man, Others Defect To PDP

Buhari’s Man, Others Defect To PDP

BARELY three days to
the rescheduled general elections, the Sokoto state chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party has made a big catch into its fold as Alhaji
Sani Muhammad Gobirawa, Northwest Zonal Vice President of the Nigerian
Union of Pensioners and top notch of the Buhari Support
Organisation(BSO) “Buhari Sak” in Sokoto defects from APC.

Gobirawa
who currently is at the vanguard as Vice Chairman of the Aminu Waziri
Tambuwal(AMATA) Support Group exclusively told The Nation in Sokoto
Wednesday that his defection along with others in the BSO was voluntary
and based on their conviction that PDP is the most fulfilling political
platform that symbolises the democracy for Nigeria to work again.

”
Our decision to join PDP was purely based on our firm conviction of the
ability and capability of Governor Aminu’s reality and myth, as such,
we don’t need the approval or inclination of any family to actualize our
political aspirations”, he pointed out.

According to the
Pensioners top echelon who similarly seized opportunity to clear the air
on some misinformation on his defection, said ” I have to put it
straight to the people of the state and to shame doubting Thomases that
as a Nigerian and an adult with my senses, I can decide on which party
to join without associating my actions to any family.

” This
clarification has become necessary for Sokoto people to discountenance
insinuations from some quarters associated with family issue”, he
explained.

The political opinion leader and elder who also holds a
traditional title of ‘ Wakilin Gwiwa and Walin Dabagin Ardo’ in the
state continued, ” when I joined BSO I did not seek the permission nor
associated my membership to any family.”

Gobirawa however, urged
the public to focus on issues and not personality as to the issue of
choice in a democratic setting where a citizen has the right to freely
associate and express his wish as to his or her aspiration.

He
said his group remain determined and focused with resilience for the
success of PDP and for the reelection of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.

”
I wish to reaffirm the commitment of our group and we remain firm and
resolute behind the PDP under Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal from the
grassroots up to the National level for the good of the people and the
coming generations yet unborn. I also urge the people of Sokoto state to
continue to extend their support to the Governor so that he can
transform the state and return it’s lost glory.“
