Former Governor Wants Buhari To Rule Beyond 2019

According to him, Buhari should rule beyond
2019 so he can address the rot that has eaten
deep into the country, saying four years was too
small to do so, Daily Trust reports.
Wamakko stated this on Wednesday, November
4 when he hosted students of Faculty of Law of
the Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto.
He said: “ Four years cannot be enough to
address the rot done to the country in the last
30 years. We cannot expect miracle from the
president in view of the enormous damage done
to the country, he needs to be given opportunity
to be around beyond 2019.”
The former governor commended Buhari for his
hard work in the five months of his
administration, saying he has been making
efforts to get the country back on the right track
of development.

He noted that Buhari’s administration would
soon begin more actions on the development of
the country as the ministerial screening had
been concluded.
Wammakko said the journey to prosperity in the
country had begun as they were able to sack
the former weak and ineffective administration.
Aliyu Wamakko ran successfully for governor of
Sokoto state in April 2007 on the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and assumed
office on May 29, 2007. Following an appeal, his
election was annulled in April 2008 on the basis
that he had still been a member of the All
Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) when he won the
PDP nomination. However, he regained his seat
in the May 2008 re-run.
In November 2013, Wamakko, alongside former
governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano, former
governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and former
governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers state,
dumped the PDP for the All Progressives
Congress after staging a walk out on the PDP
national convention in Abuja.
