Chairman of the Northern Senators Forum, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, has stated that the recent defection of the Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal from the All Progressives Congress (APC) is the “worst decision he has taken in his life.”
Speaking in Sokoto on Thursday, he described the recent gale of defections from APC as a good omen for the Party as it is currently engaged in stocktaking, promising that it will come out stronger.
“In the next few days or months, Nigerians would be surprised how the APC is going to fare.
“If he had taken the consideration of the people he is representing, the people of Sokoto State, he should not have gone into the PDP…but may be something else is guiding his decision. This is the worst decision he has taken in his life,” he said.
He described Tambuwal as a very promising young politician, with potential.
“At his age, he should not be in a hurry. He is a fine young politician; I have a lot of respect for him.
“Parties making realignments and mergers is just normal. That is the beauty of democracy. People should be given the freedom to be where they want to be. It is nothing unusual.”
