Read Time:1 Minute, 34 Second
Aminu Tambuwal, Governor of Sokoto State

In what appears like a political earthquake,Ā  252 Special advisers and Special assistants appointed by Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state have resignedĀ  their appointments.
And they have returned to the All Progressives Congress, instead of working under a PDP government.
Alhaji Ibrahim Haske, a special adviser to the renegade governor andĀ  spokesman for all the aides, announced thisĀ  at a news conferenceĀ  in Sokoto on Sunday.
He saidĀ their decisionĀ followedĀ  Gov. Tambuwalā€™s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
ā€œOur appointment is based on the position that APC is the political party governing the state and now that the government belongs to PDP, we have no option other than to resign.
ā€œWe are bonafide members of APC and our position hasĀ always remained same; we therefore resign voluntarily from the PDP government ,ā€ Haske said.
Haske, who wasĀ a former Sokoto South Local Government Chairman, further explained the decisionĀ was based on theirĀ desire to support APC to deliver on its mandateĀ  after theĀ  2019 general elections.
Alhaji Abdullahi Sokoto, also a special adviser to Tambuwal,Ā  restated the Ā former aidesā€™Ā  commitment and dedication toward ensuring the success of APC across the state.
ā€œWe will continue to remain in our party APC andĀ as such we sacrifice our political appointments to clarify peopleā€™s doubt and show our stand on party supremacy.ā€
He restated the groupā€™s loyalty and support toĀ the policies and programme of the Federal GovernmentĀ under President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of APC.
In his reaction, theĀ APC ChairmanĀ in the state, Alhaji Sadiq Achida, commended the former aidesĀ  toĀ  Gov. Tambuwal for their demonstration ofĀ  loyalty to the party.
He said, ā€œthe sacrifice of the Special advisers is highly recommended and will surely be rewarded by the people and APC in future.ā€
