Barely three days to the rescheduled general elections, the Sokoto State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) welcomed into its fold, Alhaji Sani Muhammad Gobirawa, the Northwest Zonal Vice President of the Nigerian Union of Pensioners and top notch of the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) โBuhari Sakโ from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Gobirawa, who currently is at the vanguard as Vice Chairman of the Aminu Waziri Tambuwal(AMATA) Support Group exclusively told newsmen in Sokoto Wednesday that his defection along with others in the BSO was voluntary and based on their conviction that PDP is the most fulfilling political platform that symbolises the democracy for Nigeria to work again.
โOur decision to join PDP was purely based on our firm conviction of the ability and capability of Governor Aminu’s reality and myth, as such, we don’t need the approval or inclination of any family to actualise our political aspirationsโ, he pointed out.
According to the Pensioners top echelon who similarly seized opportunity to clear the air on some misinformation on his defection, said โI have to put it straight to the people of the state and to shame doubting Thomases that as a Nigerian and an adult with my senses, I can decide on which party to join without associating my actions to any family.
โ This clarification has become necessary for Sokoto people to discountenance insinuations from some quarters associated with family issueโ, he explained.
