Alhaji Aminu Sokoto , a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, in Sokoto State, has urged the electorate to exercise their constitutional rights to belong to any political parties of their choice.
Sokoto, however, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the supporters of the APC should not allow themselves to be intimidated or harassed, as the party was now a national organisation.
“The APC has come to stay for the overall political growth of the state and Nigeria.”
He also advised the party faithful not to allow any move to disrupt the peaceful co-existence among the people of the state.
“The Sokoto people are law abiding citizens, hence, the need for the opposition to desist from acts capable of causing a breach of the existing peace in the state,” he said.
Sokoto said members of the party in the state would work toward promotion of political tolerance and understanding.
“It is not in our character to engage in any action that would lead to political violence and thuggery.”
He said the party had embarked on a house-to-house campaign, to sensitise eligible voters to acquire the voters’ card.
He said the cards remained the only viable means needed to sustain the legacies of the current administration in the state.
“We will do all that we can to ensure that all the eligible voters participate in the forthcoming voter registration,” the APC chieftain said.
He called on supporters to report any person or group found sponsoring political thuggery to the security agencies.
