The Peoples’ Democratic Party in Sokoto State
has accused the All Progressives Congress administration in the state of
mismanaging local government funds.
Sokoto State PDP chairman, Bello Aliyu Goronyo,
made the allegation during a meeting with PDP state, zonal, and local
government executives at the party’s secretariat in the state capital.
Goronyo expressed concern over what he
described as the financial mismanagement of local government resources, stating
that the councils in the state were broke and that funds meant for their
development were being wasted by the current Sokoto State Government.
According to the PDP chairman, this
mismanagement was detrimental to the progress and welfare of local communities
in the state.
The party also raised issues about the state of
basic amenities under the leadership of Governor Ahmed Aliyu, particularly the
lack of potable drinking water in the state capital.
Goronyo criticised the governor for failing to
address this pressing need, which has left many residents of Sokoto metropolis
without access to clean and safe drinking water.
Despite these challenges, Goronyo expressed
confidence in the PDP’s ability to reclaim the state in the 2027 gubernatorial
elections.
He assured the party’s supporters that the PDP
would work hard to address the issues currently plaguing the state and provide
a better alternative to the people of Sokoto.
The party remains hopeful that Sokoto residents
will vote for change in the next 2027 gubernatorial elections.
