In our Post Colonial political trajectory, the name of His Excellency, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko (Sarkin Yamma) will continue to be mentioned in homes, streets and on the corridors of power with celestial reverence, as captured Friday in this report, by Yusuf Makarfi, a Public Affairs Analyst Lives in Kaduna:
SENATOR Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko (Sarkin Yamma, has captured the attention of both well wishers and traducers with his immense magnanimity. Rarely can one find a person with dripping goodwill, empathy and candour towards his people like Sarkin Yamma.
His concern for his people is definitely unparalleled, and if you like call it unsurpassed. To him, human development and the provisions of quality sense of belonging are paramount to his leadership appurtenance.
His vision for Sokoto state has improved the qualities of lives of so many socially marginalized people.
The vision has also aided the possibilities of many students to be in schools through various educational platforms the it has provided and still providing foods to the homes of numerous families and households.
The capacity of a leader to provide or assist his people to access educational possibilities, foods, health care and potable water is a measure of his leadership scale; Senator Aliyu Wamakko enjoyed them all.
His political patriarchy is guided by both fatherly and political nuances, which placed him as the sole provider of dividends of democracy from the remote fringes of the grassroots to the top strata of the states metropolis, shocking everyone with his delivery on his leadership style. Vast literary works of the myriad of his political and social accomplishments have been written by accomplished writers both national and international that made it seemingly difficult to pen a succinct narrative of this effervescent political juggernaut.
However, one thing is certain; Sokoto state, the Seat of the Caliphate has never had a leader like him since the passing of Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto. His patience, forbearance and controlled temper in the face of misguided political utterances remain a subject of references in various societal debates.
