2027: Ajiyan Sokoto Denies Plans to Contest Governorship Election
The Ajiyan Sokoto, Allaji Umar I. Ajiya, has denied the rumors being peddled in some quarters that he is planning to contest the Sokoto Governorship seat in 2027.
In a statement on Monday by the Spokesman to the Ajiyan Sokoto, Bashir Ahmad Danmalam, blamed such rumours on the handwork of some disgruntled elements who do not wish Ajiya well and are also bent on causing disaffection between him and the Sokoto State Governor, Dr. Ahmad Aliyu Sokoto.
Danmalam noted that such insinuation was aimed at discrediting thetraditional title holder who has no plan to contest any elective position let alone the Sokoto State governorship seat.
“It has come to our knowledge that parts of the orchestrated plans already being hatched is to circulate campaign posters with the picture of the former Ajiyan Sokoto insinuating that he’s planning to contest for the Sokoto State Governorship seat.This insinuation is not only baseless and false, but unfounded and therefore should be disregarded,”Danmalam said.
He said, “As a patriotic citizen who had worked and held various positions in both the private and public service, and retired peacefully, Ajiyan Sokoto has no plan to contest any elective position.
“We want to make it abundantly clear that Alhaji Umar I. Ajiya did not mandate any individual or group to print out and circulate any posters on his behalf as he remains a loyal APC card carrying member who is committed to the development of democracy in the country.
According to media Aide, Ajiya would continue to support the present administration under the able leadership of President Bola Tinubu to enable him to continue to uplift the country to an enviable position.
He, therefore, called on the people of Sokoto State in particular and Nigeria at large, to disregard such rumours stressing that Ajiya would not hesitate to take legal action against any individual or groups trying to cause disaffection and enmity between him and the Sokoto State Governor or the Federal Government.
“We called on members of the general public especially in Sokoto state to disregard the mischief of those people peddling the rumors which are aimed at creating confusion in the state and the country,” Danmalam added.

A chieftain and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Amin “Little,” has filed a legal action at the Kano State High Court challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah body in the state.
It will be recalled that Little had earlier written to the concerned parties, urging them to suspend the move in the interest of peace and stability in the state. A copy of the letter, addressed to former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was also sent to the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf; Baffa Babba Danagundi; Haruna Ibn Sina; and the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to his Executive Assistant and Media Aide, Adnan Mukhtar, Little decided to seek legal redress following what he described as the respondents’ persistence and insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.
“Dissatisfied with their recent actions and continued insistence on moving forward with the establishment process, Little approached the Kano State High Court to seek redress,” Mukhtar said.
Those listed as respondents in the suit include the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, the Kano State House of Assembly, the Attorney General of Kano State, the Kano State Hisbah Board, Baffa Babba Danagundi, and Haruna Ibn Sina.
In an official statement posted on his Facebook page, Little said:
“I have today instructed my lawyers to file an action challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah in Kano State. This follows my recent letter to the parties concerned and their insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.
“I believe this move is an attempt to disrupt our peaceful coexistence at a time when the state is facing security challenges.
“The peace of Kano State remains our utmost priority.
Kano Sabuwa, In sha Allahu.”
