The accusation was raised during an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Tambuwal, where the party’s local government chairman, Isa Sadiq Achida, alleged that the former governor failed to bring tangible development to the area throughout his tenure.
Achida further faulted Tambuwal’s alleged role in a political coalition, describing it as a reassembly of well-known political actors rather than a genuine new movement. He called on residents—especially the youth—to support continuity and reject what he termed recycled political interests.
During the meeting, the APC formally received defectors from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, including three former councillors.
Representing the Tambuwal Local Government Chairman, the Council Leader, Nasiru Jabo, said the local government leadership remained committed to improving the party’s performance in future elections.
Also speaking, the Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Ala, disclosed that the state government had approved the establishment of three secondary schools in Tambuwal Local Government Area.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor, Aminu Dikko, said several indigenes of his had been appointed into political offices under the current administration.
He dismissed speculation about any personal political ambition, saying he would abide by party decisions.
Efforts to reach former Governor Tambuwal for comments were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
However, the PDP, through its spokesperson, Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, said the party would respond at an appropriate time.
