A former Governor of Sokoto State and Senator representing Sokoto North, Aliyu Wamakko, has reaffirmed his commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, insisting that Sokoto has benefited significantly from the current administration. Speaking on Friday at the Government House, Sokoto, during the flag-off of mobilisation funds for the reconstruction of the burnt section of the Sokoto Central Market, Wamakko said the Tinubu administration had demonstrated fairness and inclusiveness in dealing with state governments.The APC leader further argued that Sokoto had witnessed a wave of federal appointments under the Tinubu administration, describing it as “unprecedented in the political history of our state.” Wamakko said, “Never before has Sokoto enjoyed this level of federal attention and representation. It shows commitment to fairness, justice and national unity.” Wamakko, widely regarded as the political leader of the APC in Sokoto, is believed to be a central figure in mobilising support for President Tinubu in the North-West, a zone considered strategic to Nigeria’s electoral calculations.Analysts note that Sokoto was a contested battleground in the 2023 general elections, with both the APC and PDP sharing state and federal wins. Wamakko’s renewed call for alignment is therefore seen as part of efforts to consolidate the APC’s influence ahead of future elections. The senator also commended Governor Ahmad Aliyu for developmental strides across Sokoto State, especially in infrastructure renewal and economic revitalisation.
