The governor gave the charge in Bodinga Local Government Area, concluding a monitoring tour of APC congresses in Sokoto South, Wamakko Local Government Area, and Bodinga Local Government Areas.

Aliyu expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the congresses, commending delegates for their orderly participation and the party’s national secretariat for deploying competent officials to supervise the exercise. He assured the new executives of the state government’s support to enable them to succeed in their responsibilities.

Reaffirming party cohesion, the governor stressed that the APC in Sokoto remained united and strong, urging members to renew their dedication to organisational discipline and electoral readiness.

Also speaking, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, commended the governor for his people‑oriented projects across the state, while calling on residents to sustain support for the administration at both federal and state levels.

The State APC Chairman, Isa Saddiq Achida, congratulated the newly elected executives and tasked them with strengthening party structures across wards and local governments. Party officials across the 23 local government areas emerged through consensus and were endorsed by key stakeholders.
