The All Progressive Congress (APC), Sokoto State Chapter, has described recent PDP criticism of Governor Ahmed Aliyu road construction in the state as, frantic efforts to remain relevant.Â
In his reaction, APC state chairman, Honourable Sadiq Acida said, the ranting of PDP did not come to them as a surprise because, having realized the hollowness of their legal arguments at the Governorship Election Tribunal, they have decided to adopt a new strategy known as “the pull them down syndrome.”
 “Unfortunately for the PDP, our Governor Dr. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto is a performer who cannot be deterred or distracted in his determination to develop Sokoto State and change the narrative of backwardness and lack of performance that the PDP era was known for.
 “Having read the content of the PDP chairman’s letter on the road projects being executed by the new APC administration, we became convinced that the Sokoto State PDP is only envious of the intimidating achievements of Governor Ahmad Aliyu in less than fifty days in office.
“The projects are meant to serve the interest of the people of Sokoto State and no amount of political blackmail will distract the new administration of the All Progressives Congress, under our able, progressive governor, Dr Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto.”
 Sokoto State PDP chairman, Muhammadu Bello Goronyo, in a letter to the state governor, said the road construction projects were unconstitutional because they were not appropriated for in the 2023 budget, and not approved by the state executive council.
