2027: We Rely on our Projects for Re-election – Gov Aliyu

Sokoto State Governor, Ahmed Aliyu, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) would rely on projects executed by his administration to seek re-election in the forthcoming 2027 general elections.

Aliyu stated this on Friday at the Government House, Sokoto, shortly after observing the Jumu’at prayer.

He said his administration had recorded achievements it intended to present to the electorate, expressing the party’s readiness to seek another mandate to sustain and expand its development programmes across the state.

The governor also pledged that the APC would conduct its campaigns with decorum, saying the party would avoid insults and maintain respect for political opponents.

“We will ensure decorum in our campaign language and refrain from insulting anyone,” he said.

Aliyu urged APC supporters to remain law-abiding and conduct their political activities in accordance with the law, while respecting the dignity of other citizens.

He challenged opposition parties to present their records in government to the electorate rather than engage in what he described as campaigns of calumny.

The governor further cautioned political actors against using freedom of expression as a pretext to violate the fundamental rights of others during political campaigns.

He said his administration remained committed to protecting the rights and dignity of all residents, stressing the need for political activities that would preserve peace and stability in the state.

“We owe it a duty to protect our dear state from anyone who seeks to destroy it,” he added.

Aliyu thanked the people of Sokoto State for their continued support and prayers, urging them to sustain their cooperation with his administration.
