The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Sokoto State has reassured residents of the state that Governor Ahmed Aliyu is fully committed to ending banditry and other security challenges facing the state.
The chairman of the party in the state, Isa Sadiq Acida, stated this while addressing newsmen at the party secretariat in Sokoto on Friday.
Acida, while congratulating the governor on the occasion of his recent 54th Birthday, describe his performance in the office within seven months of his administration as awesome and worthy of commendation in every quarter
He said the governor has proved critics wrong by being constantly around and in touch with the people, “feeling their pulse and attending to their needs, rather than shuttling between local and foreign destinations and becoming an absentee governor.
“In the area of security, you have proven your commitment to securing the state, through collaboration and cooperation with security agencies at state and federal levels.
“Your assistance to the security agencies, and the provision of the right calibre of vehicles, has been severally applauded, even by the highest echelon of the military.
“The collaboration has begun to bear fruit as the bandits are now being pursued in their hideouts and attacked, while several of their innocent victims are constantly being freed.
“The initiative of enacting a law to establish community guard corps and providing them with adequate transport and armaments is another giant stride to end Banditry and enthrone a secure and peaceful Sokoto State within the year 2024.”
The chairman also commended the governor for other social activities which include the ongoing construction of another 500 housing estates in the Wakaje village area of Wamakko local government in addition to the completion of another 500 abandoned housing estates by the previous administration.
He, however, called on the opposition party in the state to join hands with the administration, saying the governor has promised to complete all the ongoing inherited projects by the previous administration.
