Aliyu Wamakko, a former governor of Sokoto State and senator for the Sokoto North senatorial district, has refuted any rumors that he is considering running for vice president in the run-up to the general elections in 2027.

A recent report titled “2027 Aspirations: Northern Leaders Urged to Support Wamakko” characterized appeals for Wamakko’s candidacy to the Chairman of Kebbe Local Government Area, Abdullahi Yerima, as unapproved, according to a statement released by his media aide, Abdallah El-Kurebe.

Wammako has neither publicly or privately indicated any interest in running for vice president, he disclosed.

“We wish to state unequivocally that Senator Wamakko has never publicly or privately expressed interest in contesting for the position of Vice President in the 2027 general elections or in any political arrangement of that nature. Any insinuation or claim to that effect is false, baseless, and highly irresponsible,” the statement continued.

El-Kurebe further describe Yerima’s remarks as “a reckless and deliberate act of political mischief intended to mislead the public and drag the name of the Distinguished Senator into needless and unfounded political speculation.”

Senator Wamakko also urged Yerima to refrain from any activities that would harm his reputation or distort his political position, and he demanded a quick retraction and public apologies.

As of the time this report was filled, Abdullahi Yerima has not responded to the senator’s request for an apology and retraction.
