| Former governor of Sokoto state, Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa |
Former governor of Sokoto state, Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa has maintained his stand on his earlier rejection of Governor Aliyu Wamakko as the All Progressives Congress (APC) leader in the state.
Speaking to BBC Hausa service yesterday, Bafarawa said that in APC, all members are equal and anybody who joins the party is welcomed.
“What we want is that, everybody should have his right. Therefore anybody who wants to be a leader and he is not elected by the people that will surely bring problem,” he said.
Bafarawa maintained that the issue of a governor being the automatic leader is wrong stressing that leaders must be those who can steer the affairs of the party.
He added that they are not praying or working for anything bad to happen to the party or its members as they are patriotic saying what they are doing is an act of loyalty to the party.
The former governor said he is not fighting Wamakko for selfish reasons.
He said some people go into politics based on conviction and ideology while others are into it for their selfish interests looking for positions or just to be elected adding that the ideology of APC as a party is different from such peoples’ ideologies saying anybody willing to follow their progressive ideology is welcome to the party.
