A former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari, on Wednesday, declared to contest the state governor seat on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party during the 2019 general elections.

Shagari, who was also a former minister of water resources, contested for the seat in 2015 on the platform of the PDP, but lost to the incumbent, Aminu Tambuwal, of the All Progressives Congress.

The former deputy governor, who declared his intention when he met with the PDP leaders in Sokoto, said that he would focus on the health, agriculture and education sectors if elected.

He also promised to pay special attention to youth and social development, and improve the state’s infrastructure.

Shagari declared that he was “very qualified” for the job in view of his experience as a deputy governor for eight years.

“I have visited practically every village in Sokoto and know the major concerns of the people. What I want is the opportunity to address such concerns,” he said.

On the gale of defections to the PDP, Shagari assured the new members of equal rights with everyone.

“We welcome all defectors from APC; in fact, we are waiting for more defectors so that PDP can be stronger,” he said.

Credible candidate should challenge Apc at all level

Congrats but you can’t defeat Tambuwal.

Even though I dont like apc, I still dont want pdp cos all of dem na d same selfish, greedy politicians!

Pack well

wonderful development

No problem but PDP cannot come to power again, never.... Let them change their name hundred time. they can not win. The same old hag looters.

Pdp should tell this guy to shut up first... Pdp needs tambuwal more than this guy.... He should wait let PdP get tambuwal first before his declaration so that tambuwal will defect willingly.... We need to get that nemesis called Buhari out of Aso rock and tambuwal is instrumental...

Una don try...

He dey tell Tambuwal there is no vacancy for governorship candidate in Sokoto PDP

Interesting, will the incumbent governor Tambuwal still defect to PDP?

Nigeria won't move forward if the same class if people or their kids keep leading..
He probably feel it's his hereditary right to govern Sokoto

try ur luck

Waste of limited resources. APC IS SOKOTO, SOKOTO IS APC. FACT!

He will focus on agriculture Heath

Why didn't he focus on them as a deputy governor

The north should embrace PDP in their own interest...

You had better declare now to avoid Tambawal from removing the seat off your azz.
Therefore, Aminu Tambawal, over to you: Are you with PDP or APC?

Homeboiy:
He will focus on agriculture Heath


Why didn't he focus on them as a deputy governor

Why didn't the current VP focus on security. Deputy governors are errand boys!

My God this is awesome
