Former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Barrister Mukhtar Shehu Shagari, has left the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Shagari proclaimed his desire to run for governor of the state under the PDP platform in March 2022, InsightnaijaTV reports.
Shagari, on the other hand, announced his resignation from the PDP in a statement dated Wednesday, May 25, citing betrayal as the cause for his departure.
He goes on to accuse State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, accusing him of not following through on his promises.
He said: “I wish to bring to your notice that I, Mukhtar Shehu Shagari have from today ceased to be a member of the Peoples Democratic Party.”
According to him, the party deceitfully claims to be a bastion of democracy but has instead become a party of the highest bidder without due consideration to his labour, commitment, sacrifice, investments and service since 1998.
Shagari added saying: “Apart from my numerous sacrifices and service to the party, the so-called Peoples Democratic Party has no reward system regardless of one’s loyalty and faithfulness. It is my conviction that the ideals of the founding fathers of the Peoples Democratic Party have been completely eroded and are not worthy to be called a Democratic Party.”
Tambuwal has proven to be a man who does not follow through on his promises, according to the former Deputy Governor.
“It is also sad and unfortunate that the PDP in Sokoto died and was buried during his tenure as Governor of Sokoto State as a result of his draconian, slippery, cunning, crafty, and insincere leadership style,” he added.
He bemoaned the fact that the PDP had devolved into a “cash and carry” party for the highest bidder to serve the interests of a small group of people who had “hijacked the party’s body and soul.”
Shehu Shagari said he will publicly reveal his future measures soon, while urging his supporters to remain calm.
Shehu Shagari was a founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party in Sokoto State and a former two-term Minister of Water Resources under President Olusegun Obasanjo, according to Naija News.
