“I am happy with Governor Tambuwal’s defeat in the Sokoto election. You know, there comes a moment when valuing a guy will pay off.

“In 2015, he betrayed the party and then fled. He deceived the Asiwaju he met in the APC and Wike, who shortly sponsored him in 2019. Now is the time for retaliation.

“I am grateful that Sokoto residents rejected Tambuwal in the election.

“I advised you to cast a no vote for him once more in the senate run-off. You are lovely people, and God is aware of human events. Tambuwal is no more.
