Former Sokoto State Governor, Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa said, yesterday, that it was easier to defeat a sitting governor just as he described Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as a small political party where lazy politicians rush to make quick money and acquire power without working for it.
The two term former governor of Sokoto called on Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari to return to the ANPP fold to widen the scope of its support as a re-launch of a new political beginning.
He said, “we want to make a stronger stand for the party such that it will pilot the journey for change not only in Sokoto but Nigeria as a whole’’
He said ANPP in Sokoto State would surely go for victory at the poll come March 2012 and added that “we have the political principles and machinery to convince the electorate for the actualisation of change in the state currently hanging at the mercy of bad governance’’.
“The party captured the three states of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara in 1999 and was the second largest party by popularity and support nation-wide. That is why this time round we want to redeem its political glory by taking Sokoto from PDP’’, he vowed.
