The idea of igniting crises in Sokoto the seat of the caliphate has long been orchestrated to turn the ancient city (Sokoto) ungovernable.
Notwithstanding, Sokoto state is located in the North-West Sahara Axis spearhead by a strong spiritual leader of Muslim Umah and the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III. From 2007 to 2015,Gov. Aliyu Magakarda Wammakko was elected who succeeded Ex-governor Bafarawa as governor was never easy task Wammakko. Even though, Aliyu Wammakko did not find it easy to conquer the state, Beside, the court battle and merger resources, he was able to secure 2-tern through free and fair credible election.
During his period as governor of, Sokoto enjoyed peace as well provided dividends of democracy in the State.
Even though, 2007 will never be forgetting in his mind because the period under review journalist in the state who covered activities of the factors where optimistic that hardly one could glance at pages of newspapers with ex-governor and Aliyu Magakarda Wammakko not mention in the pages of newspapers. Several politicians have made money through factions with Wammako side and Bafarawa side. The rules of law play a vital role with Wammako fought (8) years and wins, while Bafarawa ended serving jail term that was later released on bail term by EFCC.
A Commentators of Sokoto Public and Politics Affairs Analyst, who described their rivalry battle as insignificant as well a “show of shame”.
Now, the event in Sokoto politics has taken new dimensions with Shi’it Sects drawing the attention of IGP in a blackmail reports allegedly perpetrated by SAHARAREPORTERS WITH HEADLINE CALLING FOR WAMAKKO ARREST, the reports via online was alleged on ethical and purported attempt to redicles the image and Name of the current Senator Wammako integrity.
The purported report emerged in yesterday publications sponsored by Muslim Brotherhood Shi’it the used the medium to orchestrated the idea and resulted in the blackmail.
The event of the Shi’it was buried long ago and even if Wammakko raise that issue publicly as a leader it’s has become history.
As at the time of filling this reports, nobody can challenged Wammakko for his steadfast achievement recorded from his leadership as ex-governor to date as Senator or Lawmaker. He has executed several projects that has direct bearing to people oriented development that his predecessor, Bafarawa cannot or may not hold his tales.
Why, he should remain as ‘Alfa’ and ‘Omega’ of Sokoto politics is his giant strides of projects he initiated that lifted his images above his predecessor are: from 2007, considering the special taskforce on Insecurity that today has became a menace in Zamfara, Kebbi, Kaduna, Katsina state carving Sokoto out, after all Wammakko has turned to be a gladiators to watch since after he retired his predecessor Bafarawa.
He has since returned Alh. Umaroon Kwano A A back to his camp with others, former SSG Maigari Dingyadi and several associates, followers of Ex-governor Bafarawa.
Before his exit, he anointed Aminu Waziri Tambuwal to spearhead the state and succeeded him, until today when the two separated toward party affiliation with Wammakko led APC and Aminu PDP heading Sokoto South Senatorial District.
In a swift reaction both Muktari Maigona a stalwart of PDP and Aminu Bello Sokoto ACY noted that Wammako remain godfatherism of Sokoto Caliphate, saying” he is a game changer for know. Adding that who ever fought Wammakko and want defeat hands down, as a technocrat. Politics is a game of number saying their is no enemy or permanent friend in politics rather friend.
Meanwhile, a political analyst late Sule Yakubu who work with Kaduna Radio State was optimistic that whoever rub shoulder with Wammakko is fighting bull-by-horn according to commentator, he reiterated and affirm that Aliyu Magakarda would spearhead sokoto politics for now until he retired by himself because his long history and peace loving indigens of Sokoto.
2027, is around the corners, politicians have began to sharpen their nieves, any pot-holes, now the only ways to redicles Wammako is through, the use of Shia sect as a way to prevail on their said journey…
