Some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the auspices of APC Adalci Buhari Saka have given Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal 48 hours ultimatum to declare whether he is with President Muhammadu Buhari or not.
Addressing a Press Conference at the NUJ secretariat, Sokoto, the group threatened to take further action if the Governor fail to make his stand known within the stated period.
The group further accused the Governor of anti-party activities which they said should be thoroughly investigated and dealt with as a matter of urgency.
"We don't understand his romance with the leading members of the opposition PDP which was widely publicized, " it stated
It added " He has a strong relationship with Governor Wike who is the perceived leader of the modern PDP and the national chairman of the party. He visits them and they come and visit him in Sokoto as well. "
Spokesman of the group, Professor Bashar Lawal asserted:"We are giving him 48 hours to declare whether he is with Buhari or not and if he fail to do so we will do what is necessary."
Lawal who was flanked by members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), alleged that the Governor was undermining the war on corruption by terminating all corruption cases against members of his cabinet.
They further alleged that billions of public funds were squandered in the name of the electorate but there was no conmensurated social infrastructure.
"But they keep blaming the federal government despite receiving successive funding as bailouts, Paris club refunds in addition to the regular monthly subvention from the federal government," he said.
Members of the group also accused the Governor of persecuting members of the defunct CPC, citing the consfication of farmlands worth N300 million of the former gubernatorial aspirant on the platform of APC, Barrister Aliyu Sanyinna and the demolition of part of the school owned by their spokesperson, Professor Bashar.
When contacted, one of the APC stalwarts, Magaji Gusau dared them to take any action if they have evidences to back their claims.
Gusau was the one who officially reacted to the group's earlier allegation of marginalization.
