Sokoto State Deputy Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu, has obtained nomination form to contest for the governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 elections.

Aliyu refused to defect with Governor Aminu Tambuwal to the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).

This was contained in a statement signed by the deputy governor's media aide, Malam Abubakar Bawa, which was made available to journalists in Sokoto Tuesday.

The statement said the deputy governor obtained the form last Monday at the national headquarters of the APC in Abuja.

According to the statement, the deputy governor was accompanied by the state Chairman of the party, Alhaji Isa Sadiq Achida, and two lawmakers from the state.

Speaking with journalists in Sokoto yesterday, the deputy governor said he would give priority to the critical sectors of the economy if elected governor of the state.

He also expressed confidence that he would win the APC governorship primary election if there was no consensus arrangement.

Aliyu therefore expressed optimism that the state would bounce back to APC in 2019.

He appealed to the members of the party to be patient and law-abiding as well as avoid any acts capable of breaching peace in the state.

The deputy governor also enjoined them to strive hard towards ensuring the victory of the APC in the forthcoming elections.

"I am appealing to our supporters to eschew violence and do whatever it takes to ensure APC wins the governorship elections in 2019," Aliyu added.
