The Sokoto State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Isah Sadik Achida, has assured President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the party will secure about 90 percent of the votes in the state.
The assurance followed the defection of a former four-term member of the House of Representatives, Honourable Kabiru Marafan Achida, who led his supporters from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC.
Receiving the defectors, Alhaji Isah Sadik Achida described the development as a strong indication of the APC’s growing influence across Sokoto State, noting that the increasing wave of defections reflects public confidence in the party’s leadership and direction.
He further assured the people of the state that more developmental projects are underway under the administration of Governor Ahmed Aliyu, aimed at improving livelihoods and accelerating socio-economic growth.
Speaking at the event, Honourable Kabiru Marafan Achida said his return to the APC marked a renewed commitment to active politics. He described his stay in the PDP as a mistake and pledged to continue mobilising support for the party at all levels.
Other speakers at the event included a former area chairman, Mustapha Isah Matawalle; former PDP Chairman of Rabah Local Government, Mu’azu Dutsi Rarah; and the APC Area Secretary, Aminu Mai Radio, among others. They welcomed the defectors and commended the APC leadership in the state.
The event also featured the electronic registration of the defectors and attracted a large turnout of party supporters, underscoring the APC’s expanding grassroots support in Sokoto State.
