As water scarcity bites harder, Sokoto residents chase after moving water tankers to get supplies.

When contacted on phone, General Manager, Sokoto State Water Board, Alhaji Isma’ila Umar-Sanda, initially expressed misgivings that newsmen were only out to look for negative issues.

He said newsmen were not approaching the board on its routine activities till things went bad, stressing that all hitches were temporary and efforts were being made to address them.In a statement issued by Malam Muhammad Bello, Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs to Governor Aminu Tambuwal, the governor, however, expressed displeasure at the situation.

“As Muslims in Sokoto State celebrate Sallah, some residents of the metropolis had to cope with a shortage of water supply, a situation which prompted the state government to respond swiftly.“It is surprising that the problem persists; hence the governor’s decision that the state government will investigate what went wrong,’’ Bello stated.All rights reserved.

Well I hope they are very careful about this water, this are mass of uninformed people, this water might not even be a clean one, I have seen a hell of so call drinking water from sokoto and katsina before. I have been there this people worry less as far as the water is water

Rain 🌧 Dey Fall but Water 💦 No dey .. Who dey Thief am Make them question government

Good for them

They will still hail their oppressors when they see them pass .

If sokoto like make dem no vote for right person.

To provide most basic infrastructure for the people is a problem, and instead for these impoverished and oppressed people to protest and fight the oppressive government, they would rather be stoning innocent girl to death under the guise of religion.

What does it take a government or the people's reps to provide water for their citizens. AWTambuwal and OfficialPDPNig will not see this

YET HAUSA FULANI IS PRESIDENT.

AWTambuwal yeye de smell👆👆👆👆

That's Good for them Since they Cannot vote a Competent Leader or maybe they Should Come to Lagos to Pick Water Because there is Flood in Lagos

Pure example of this life no balance,for the past 3 days Lagos has got excess rain fall, another rain just started now.

Water that is essential needs oo, they can't provide for their people but have the audacity to come on air and brag how they know how to play politics more that anyone else 😡

E don reach like dat?🙄

While some part are experiencing flood. Life no balance at all.

GRADUALLY NIGERIA IS GOING BACK TO THE STONE AGE UNDER BUHARI

They will still rush out and vote incompetence based on tribe.

Are you sure Nigeria is not a Planet of its own? Why are our things always different? Sri Lanka protested against a sitting Gov't and no one shot at them, we protested against just Police Brutality, we were shot at. Now in Rainy season, we have water scarcity. God Abeg o 🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾

Very bad

In 2022 Nigerians still don’t have water? When western world are already talking about living on Mars, moon and other extraterrestrial bodies. The north must have sense by force, they should continue to based there votes on religious and ethnic sentiment.

In the rainy season? They should meet Thiefnubu the Lagos Landlord, there is overflow of water there.

In this raining season?
