Sokoto Residents Urge ADC's Dan’iya to Present Plans

Concerned residents of Sokoto State have challenged Manir Muhammad Dan’iya, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), to provide a clear and achievable development blueprint ahead of the 2027 governorship election. In a statement signed by Comrade Ibrahim Umar Kware, Comrade Aminu Hali Tambuwal, and Comrade Bello Arzika Dandange, the residents expressed that they expect more than mere political criticism from candidates.

They emphasized that the upcoming election should focus on competing ideas and concrete solutions rather than fault-finding. The residents noted that Dan’iya has consistently criticized the current administration of Governor Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto without presenting a comprehensive policy document outlining his plans.

They urged him to reflect on his past experience as Deputy Governor under former Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and to share lessons learned. While acknowledging the current government's efforts in security, infrastructure, and healthcare, they insisted that the opposition must also demonstrate superior capacity and offer better alternatives.
