Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council

The Jigawa governor was reported to have said in
Sokoto on Monday that some governors who benefited
from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have now
become betrayers of the party following their defection
to APC.
Wamakko, who is one of the defected governors, in his
reaction at the APC rally in Jigawa on Tuesday said:
“My attention has been drawn to a statement by
Governor Sule Lamido that I betrayed the PDP by
decamping to APC after I won election on its platform.
“I want to first advise Lamido that he should desist
from making unguarded statements, because I consider
him an elder by age. Because of age, Lamido should
stop certain political statements and leave such to the
younger ones. The people of Sokoto voted Alu not PDP
and the people of Kano voted Kwankwasiyya not PDP.
By our antecedents we have the capacity to win
election on our own”, he said.
Wamakko also called on the party faithful in Jigawa to
vote APC at all levels, adding that time has come to
liberate the country from the evil grip of the PDP.
