Sokoto 2027: Aliyu, Wamakko, Tambuwal, others shaping governorship race

Preparations for the 2027 governorship election in Nigeria are intensifying, with Sokoto State emerging as a key political arena. Incumbent governor Ahmed Aliyu, seeking a second term on the APC platform, has the advantage of incumbency and support from his mentor, former governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko. Meanwhile, the ADC is ramping up grassroots mobilization to position itself as a credible alternative to the APC's dominance.
