Sokoto govt slams Tambuwal, PDP claim of stolen mandate

The Sokoto State Government has described claims by immediate-past governor of the state, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), that he was robbed of victory in the 2023 governorship election in the state as “delusional, ridiculous and an insult” to the people of the state.

Tambuwal who is now the Senator representing Sokoto South in the National Assembly had, on Tuesday, while addressing party supporters and stakeholders, claimed that the PDP did not lose the 2023 governorship election in the state but was robbed of victory by the APC.

But while reacting to the allegations in a statement on Wednesday, the state Commissioner for Information, Sambo Danchadi, said the former governor and the main opposition party must be deluded to imagine that they won the 2023 election in the state.
