Others were the executives and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP ), from eight out of the eleven wards in Goronyo local government. Some were the members of the Traders Association at Kasuwar Kanawa, Sokoto South Local Government, while the rest were from Kofar Atiku, in Sokoto metropolis, among others .

Senator Wamakko again reiterated the resolve of the APC to focus on issues-based campaigns, and not campaign of calumny , deception and lies.

“The recent gubernatorial debate conducted in Sokoto has vindicated us that , our gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu is a vibrant youth, who is highly qualified to effectively and efficiently govern the state, to more greatness .

“The debate has also exposed his main rival as a candidate who lacks the desired focus, direction and meaningful programmes and policies .

” Let me again stress that, if elected , our gubernatorial candidate and his running mate would scrap the wasteful and deceitful education levy, while refunds would be fully made to the workers,” the lawmaker said.

Wamakko further appealed to the electorate in the State, to massively vote President Muhammadu Buhari and the candidates of the APC at all levels.
