A veteran journalist and Senior Special Assistant (SSA), Media and Publicity to the APC National Chairman, Alhaji Yusuf Dingyadi, has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of securing at least 80 per cent of votes in Sokoto state.
Dingyadi gave the assurance on Sunday in Wamakko local government area, during an empowerment programme of 300 indigents organised by the Managing Director of the Sokoto State Media Corporation (SSMC), Alhaji Labaran Lumo Dundaye, Sardaunan Dundaye.
“We have no doubt that we will win elections. By the grace of God, APC is going to win the state House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, Governorship and Presidency. Out of 100 per cent, we will get at least 80 per cent of all votes to be cast.
“The North-West has almost over 20 million votes and we are assured of getting not less than 15 million,” the former BBC Hausa Service Correspondent declared.
He said the party has put all necessary mechanisms in place for victory, with committees from ward to zonal levels.
Dingyadi, who commended the SSMC Managing Director for distributing an undisclosed amount of cash to 300 APC supporters drawn from Dundaye, Gumburawa and Gidan Bubu Districts, described the gesture as true leadership.
“I commend and appreciate Sir Labaran Lumo Dundaye. He has done a lot. This is one of the things we want our politicians and those in power to be doing in their localities.
“Bringing people close to them, helping them, supporting them and empowering them. This is one of the aspects of leadership,” he said.
He noted that Nigerians should complement government’s efforts rather than waiting for government alone to provide all social amenities.
In his remarks, Alhaji Labaran Lumo Dundaye, said the financial assistance was aimed at complementing the efforts of Governor Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto in improving the welfare of the people and alleviating their suffering.
He called on the people of the state to support President Tinubu, Governor Aliyu, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko and all APC candidates in 2027.
“Tinubu and Ahmed Aliyu have done a lot. The Governor of Sokoto is now the best performing Governor in the history of Nigerian politics. President Tinubu has constructed many projects in the northern part of Nigeria.
“It is now payback time. It is time for us to give back what the government has done for us,” he said .
