Sokoto Governor In Closed Door Meeting With Obasanjo In Abeokuta

Governor Aliyu Wamakko of Sokoto State on Tuesday held a closed door meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo at his hilltop residence, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

Wamakko was said to have met with the former president to discuss the ongoing political realignment in the country.

It would be recalled that Wamakko was one of the five aggrieved governors of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who recently defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, following their public spat with President Goodluck Jonathan and the leadership of the ruling party.

But the governor’s deputy and former Minister of Water Resources during the Obasanjo administration, Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari has reportedly refused to defect to the opposition along with Wamakko and members of the State Executive Council.
