Na wah o! E be like say wahala don dey brew for Sokoto as pressure group, Sokoto Progressive Vanguards don raise alarm about the way anti-graft agencies dey investigate former governor, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. Dem don warn say make dem no allow politics chop their sense for this matter.
As the judicial commission wey dem set up to examine Tambuwal’s administration from 2015 to 2023 don drop their report, the Vanguards don talk say e be like say na political witch-hunt we dey see for this obodo. Dem claim say this whole thing na ploy to spoil Tambuwal’s image rather than ensure say dem go do am well.
Chairman of the group, Hon. Yusha’u Musa Alkanci, don make e clear say even though dem dey support transparency and accountability, make dem follow the law and no be play politics with am. Im talk say to put all the blame for Tambuwal alone no sure, because dem sabi say im inherit plenty wahala from previous governments.
Omo, one core matter dem touch for their statement na say how come dis inquiry wey suppose take two weeks now don turn to three years? E no dey ginger confidence, as dem even talk say some members of the commission fit just dey there to push a particular agenda.
According to Alkanci, “Dem dey try discredit almost all the achievements wey Tambuwal achieve as governor. Dis na serious matter. Dis current administration dey use political opponents to spread false information wey fit damage Tambuwal for public sight.”
Dem also talk say even the current governor, Ahmad Aliyu, dey join hand with people wey no like Tambuwal to cast a bad light on wetin him don do for the state. Dem claim say na political bitterness dey drive this whole saga, wey no go help the state at all.
The Vanguards don vex say make EFCC, ICPC, and DSS no turn to tools for political harassment, as dem dey carry allegations go media before the inquiry don even finish. Dis one na breach of due process, and e no suppose happen for we country.
Dem yarn say if agencies no fit carry out their investigations properly, e go make people no trust dem again. Instead of dey dig for Tambuwal alone, make dem check all di past governors wey dey responsible for the wahala wey dey happen for Sokoto. Na better governance, economic recovery, and insecurity issues dey urgency, no be political score settling.
