Sokoto State House of Assembly is set to ask the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sokoto State chapter for an automatic governorship ticket to be given to Governor Ahmad Aliyu in the coming 272 election.

The legislature is also set to pass a vote of confidence on the Governor for delivering democracy dividends to the people of the state.

The Speaker, Hon. Tukur Bala Bodinga, made the plan known to journalists in Sokoto when he assessed the Assembly’s two-year performance.

He said the vote of confidence was the Assembly’s way of thanking the governor for doing fantastically well, adding that he deserves another term to complete the good work in the development of the state.

“One good turn deserves another,” Bodinga stated.

“Look at the Katin Sauki (buy cheap shop) that he opened for public servants and pensioners; it is a policy driven by the governor’s concern for the poor. The foodstuffs that are sold in the shop are subsidised by 20 percent. How can we in good conscience not support the governor over such a laudable programme?”

“I want to assure Nigerians that the governor is doing well. All that he needs is continued support and encouragement from the people and the press.

“We are satisfied with the way he is running the state and the fact that he consults widely. The governor takes our advice collectively and individually because he relates with us. We have no reason to complain. The governor is not arrogant, and that has helped a lot,”

“He is a good man, highly religious. He is calm and a good listener, who also consults widely before making any decision. He is also very firm, and decisive, a democrat who takes his assignment as governor seriously.

“Governor Ahmad Aliyu is not squandering the resources of our dear state. He is focused on his assignment, and he is giving it his all. The governor has more than justified his election, and this is a general consensus of the people.

“The governor is a complete gentleman who can’t hurt a fly. When I say that he is a gentleman, I mean that he is a complete gentleman in every sense of the word, but he can show you his other side especially when it comes to issues about the development of the state.

“The opposition has been insulting him, but he has always ignored them because he understands that their ploy was to distract him. And this is the secret of his superlative performance,”
