“When he was appointed as Coordinator of the campaign, they sabotage and said that he us not an indigene of the state. While Mr Ifeanyi Ezeagu performed better than many of the indigenes of Sokoto interms of humanity. They succeeded in seeing that has been removed from his position but later realized that he still moves on and they planned to attack him.

“As his close associate and ally, I know him to be in Sokoto for over two decades and has been a good man for the people. All his investments and assets are in Sokoto and he sees Sokoto as his home state. He started as a labourer to this level, so nobody can dare paint him black in the mind of Sokoto people,” he said.

He added that while the matter has been reported to the security for immediate action, their Coordinator “will not be distracted and will continue with the good works he is doing. He is also committed to his primary assignment to deliver the state for Obi/Datti in the coming 2023 elections.”
