April 12, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State, Hon. Muhammad Bello Goronyo, has reinstated his party’s commitment to reclaim political power in the state come the 2027 general elections. Goronyo stated this while addressing journalists during the party’s quarterly Stakeholders meeting held on Saturday, in Sokoto, the State capital.
He explained that the party will continue to pursue a democratic means in regaining control of government in the state. He added that the purpose of the meeting was to assess the party’s performance over the past quarter and to realign its strategies in preparation for the future. “This is our quarterly meeting involving all state executives, zonal representatives, and local government party leaders.
It is part of our effort to evaluate our progress and set our direction moving forward”, he said. In response to speculations about potential political realignments and possible party mergers ahead of 2027, Goronyo dismissed claims that the PDP plans to merge with other parties under a new identity. “The PDP remains the last man standing among the five political parties registered in 1998.
It is a grassroots party and will continue to operate under its current identity”, he affirmed. “Since we left power, governance in Sokoto has taken a step backwards. “This administration is anti-people and anti-progress.
From demolishing businesses to failing to create employment, their actions are worsening the living conditions of the people”, he said. He also questioned the financial management of local governments under the present administration. “In the past two years, there have been no significant projects in any of the 23 local governments”, the Chairman added.
