BEFORE IT GET WORST
I wish to draw your attention to the current political chaos overheating the polity of "All Progressive Congress" in Sokoto State which has taking a different dimension and tends to attract failure to the people's choice "All Progressive Congress" all across the State.
Mr Chairman Sir, I won't be surprise if you haven't been provided with informations or reports containing details of the crisis rocking APC, i will only be astonish if your leadership didn't take any necessary actions to save the people of Sokoto from forced slavery.
Sir, after reading a letter titled "The Straw That Broke the Camel's Back" containing all sorts of insults and allegations written to the incumbent Governor of Sokoto State Alh. Aliyu Wamakko by one Akibu Dalhatu believed to be an associate and sympathizer to APC chieftain and former Governor of the State Alh. Attahiru Bafarawa. I will disagree if you said you haven't read that letter. I wouldn't want to believe in this era of PDP brutalities, members of any well-meaning political party can chewed off themselves raw that way.
I found it necessary to use this medium since we are in the season of open letters to openly writes you and request your urgent intervention in solving the dispute between Gov. Wamakko and his former boss Attahiru Bafarawa both of whom enjoyed massive support and popularity in the State. The people of Sokoto need your leadership to step in and quench the fire setting APC ablaze using your acquired qualities and skills in conflict resolution.
If you can recall, Gov Wamakko defected to All Progressive Congress less than two months back while Attahiru Bafarawa was among the founders of APC and was involved in receiving the birth of the party, he among others nurtured the young APC upto adulthood and played a significant role in popularizing the party.
After Gov Wamakko and others (G-7 Governors) falls short of rapport with the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to APC.
Sir, controversies erupted shortly after Wamakko switches to APC on who between Wamakko and Bafarawa controls the affairs of APC. Bafarawa being one of the founding father of APC claimed to be incharge while Gov Wamakko being an incumbent Governor who possessed power and authority deserved to be on the driving seat. Gov. Wamakko claimed to have signed an agreement with the leadership of APC before joining the party which vested on him, 80% control of APC in the State and Bafarawa will maintain the remaining 20% as they said.
As you know Sir, the regulations governing APC made it clear in the party's constitutions that a serving Governor under the platform of the party is the superior head of that party in his state.
The National Publicity Secretary of APC Mr. Lai Mohommed affirmed it last two weeks on page 17 via Leadership Newspaper on the 6th of January 2014 and I quote: he says "For the avoidance of doubt, please quote me that I said that the party insists that APC governors whether new or old will drive the party in their various states until we have state congresses and for this purpose, there will be no discrimination between old or new APC governors or those who defected from the PDP." Mr. Chairman if this is the case, why would your leadership allow party members to be casting war among themselves?
Mr. Chairman, I am happy to report to you that APC has been widely accepted and supported in Sokoto State and at same time, I am sad to report to you that APC in Sokoto State has two party headquarters, two executives, two leadership and two factions. Unless you were not told, an attack has been carried out by one faction of APC against the other faction last week in the State. I remained confused as to why your leadership didn't intervened to halt this ugly fashion of self opposition?
What is clear is that if your leadership has no plan to address the crisis, and you as the leader do not even want to acknowledge it as a problem, that it is beyond your control. The people of Sokoto will assume you are playing political games with their destiny, whilst our children have to run the gauntlet of bullets every day and the lack of sound education. We are asking you to urgently constitute a dialogue committee who will reconcile between the two leaders in the State as to achieve the desired objectives of forming APC.
Sir, The solution surely must be in uniting Gov. Wamakko and Alh. Bafarawa with a vision and a plan to address the issues of political rivelry. The grassroot politicians must be party to defining the plan, as they know best what is happening and have ideas about solutions. Then you can unite all the forces required to fight the scourge of PDP, including some minority political parties - if you agree that they are needed. But the arrogance and political posturing of Gov. Wamakko and Alh. Bafarawa makes the Sokoto State incapable of appreciating the hardships of APC's National Leadership or uniting and working with them towards a solution.
Mr. Chairman Sir, We ask you to get real and call on both leaders to unite together with our people around a solution to this crisis that brings leadership, vision and hope to our communities. We ask that you do it with the urgency of now.
Kind Regards
Usama Adamu Dandare
