APC SUPPORT GROUPS IN SOKOTO DEMAND REPLACEMENT OF CITY BOY MOVEMENT DIRECTOR, PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR TINUBU, ALIYU IN 2027
From Bashir Rabe Mani in Sokoto
The Coalition of APC Support Groups in Sokoto State* has reaffirmed its loyalty to the *All Progressives Congress (APC) and declared readiness to mobilise for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Addressing a news conference on Thursday in Sokoto, the Leader of the Coalition, Comrade Jamilu Suleiman, said the group remains committed to ensuring the continuity of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Sokoto State Governor, Dr. Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto.
“We are indeed committed to the task of ensuring and actualising the continuity of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and his son, the Executive Governor of Sokoto State, Dr. Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto, through any possible means,” he said.
The Coalition, however, raised concerns over the operations of the City Boy Movement (CBM), in Sokoto State. It called on the national leadership of the movement to intervene, saying the state currently has no active and effective CBM structure.
Comrade Suleiman accused the State Director of the City Boy Movement in Sokoto of poor leadership and listed 10 grounds for seeking his immediate replacement.
Key among them are insubordination to party leadership, lack of grassroots mobilisation, weak youth engagement, disregard for party structures, and poor presence in the state.
“We demand the national leadership to collaborate with concerned youth leaders and stakeholders to appoint a well-committed, loyal party personality to take charge of the State CBM alongside committed executive members to run the affairs judiciously and successfully like in other states,” Suleiman stated.
The Coalition pledged its unflinching support to the APC leadership in the state, particularly Gov. Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto and Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, and vowed to work for the party’s victory in 2027.
The press conference had in attendance leaders of various APC support groups across the 23 local government areas of the state.
All efforts to get the reaction of the concerned Director, Mas’udu Musa Bashar, proved abortive as his telephone was switched off.
