The Sokoto State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed concern regarding the administration of local government funds under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
PDP State Chairman, Hon. Bello Aliyu Goronyo, raised the concerns on Saturday during a meeting with party executives from the state, zonal, and local government levels at the party secretariat in Sokoto.
During the meeting, Hon. Goronyo highlighted what he described as a need for greater transparency and accountability in the management of local government resources.
He claimed that many local councils in the state are experiencing financial constraints, which he attributed to governance challenges.
He further noted that such financial difficulties, if not addressed, could hinder development efforts and affect the delivery of essential services in local communities.
The PDP chieftain also commented on the state of basic infrastructure, pointing to issues such as limited access to potable drinking water in parts of Sokoto metropolis.

Goronyo called on the current administration to prioritize the welfare of residents by addressing these needs.
Despite the party’s concerns, Hon. Goronyo expressed optimism about the PDP’s prospects in the 2027 gubernatorial elections, stating that the party is committed to offering what he described as a more responsive and people-oriented alternative.
“We believe the people of Sokoto State deserve quality leadership and improved living conditions.
“The PDP remains focused on providing solutions that meet the needs of our communities,” he added.
