Ajiyan Sokoto Denies 2027 Governorship Election Bid Amid Rumors
Ajiyan Sokoto, Alhaji Umar Ajiya, has denied rumors of planning to contest the 2027 Sokoto governorship election. The traditional title holder clarified that there is no truth to the circulating campaign posters suggesting his candidacy.
A statement from his spokesman emphasized Ajiya's loyalty to the APC and commitment to democracy, dismissing the speculations as baseless and aimed at causing disaffection. The denial aims to counter disinformation and maintain Ajiya's reputation as a non-aspirant for any elective position, particularly the Sokoto State governorship.
The statement attributed the rumors to disgruntled elements seeking to discredit Ajiya's standing in the community.
