Senator Tambuwal’s track record of integrity in public service speaks for itself. Throughout his tenure, he demonstrated a steadfast commitment to the welfare of the people of Sokoto State
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sokoto State chapter, has expressed concern over recent developments involving the immediate past governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, and the present Sokoto State government.
Earlier, Senator Tambuwal appeared before the Justice Mu’azu Abdulkadir Pindiga-led Sokoto State Judicial Commission of Inquiry instituted by his successor, Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto.
Accompanied by his legal team and officials of his administration, Senator Tambuwal presented himself in response to the commission’s summons.
The state PDP Publicity Secretary, Hassan Sahabi Sanyin-Lawal further said Senator Tambuwal’s appearance underscores his commitment to upholding the rule of law and respecting constituted authorities. “As a party, we reiterate our unwavering support for ex-governor Tambuwal and commend his dedication to transparency and accountability in governance”.
According to the statement, Senator Tambuwal’s action portrayed him, as a ‘good value and addition’ to the rule of law, which will ultimately set the record of integrity and prudence bequeathed by his administration during its years at the helm.
The statement, recalls that on assumption of office in 2015, Tambuwal had vehemently rejected the idea of inquests, from even their rank, into numerous institutional infractions unleashed to the state by his predecessor, cutting across sectors.
This, the statement explains, proved Tambuwal’s cosmopolitanism driven by the principles of respect to modern day political civilization.
“However, we cannot overlook the concerning implications of these developments. The timing and nature of the inquiry raise questions about potential political motivations and attempts to intimidate Senator Tambuwal after successfully completing his tenure as governor of Sokoto State.
“Senator Tambuwal’s track record of integrity in public service speaks for itself. Throughout his tenure, he demonstrated a steadfast commitment to the welfare of the people of Sokoto State and upheld the principles of good governance”, the statement added.
As citizens, we must uphold the fundamental tenets of democracy, including respect for the rule of law and protection of individual rights. No individual, regardless of their position, should be subjected to undue harassment or intimidation by the state authorities.
The PDP Sokoto State chapter calls for a transparent and fair inquiry process, free from political interference or bias. We urge all stakeholders to uphold the principles of justice and fairness in handling this matter.
In conclusion, we stand in solidarity with Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and reaffirm our commitment to defending the rights and dignity of all citizens. We call on the relevant authorities to ensure that justice is served and that Senator Tambuwal’s rights are fully respected throughout this process.
