The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State held a State Congress where it adopted a consensus approach for the election of new state executives, emphasizing unity and internal cohesion among party members. Delegates at the congress unanimously approved the list of new executives presented by the State Congress Committee sent from the party’s national headquarters. This method of consensus was chosen to strengthen solidarity within the organization following discussions among stakeholders regarding party dynamics.

Mukhtar Musa, the Chairman of the State Congress Committee, stated that the committee was constitutionally mandated to oversee the elections into the party’s state organs. The unanimous voice vote signified widespread agreement among delegates on the new leadership, which paves the way for Haruna Adiya to take over as the State Chairman, succeeding Isa Sadiq Achida. In his acceptance speech, Adiya expressed gratitude for the confidence placed in him and committed to fostering unity and collaborative efforts within the party moving forward.

The peaceful conduct of the elections marks a significant moment for APC in Sokoto as they look to bolster internal unity in a time when political dynamics can often be contentious. The focus on consensus as opposed to a competitive election reflects a strategic choice by the party to maintain harmony amongst its members, potentially positioning them for a stronger collective front in future electoral activities and engagements within the political landscape of Nigeria.
