Sokoto East Senate Race: Almustapha, Adar, Achida Compete

The competition for the Sokoto East senatorial ticket is heating up as three prominent figures—Ibrahim Almustapha, Musa Adar, and Isa Sadiq Achida—jostle for support ahead of the APC primaries. Almustapha, a former House of Representatives member, is noted for his constituency projects and aims to secure the ticket by expanding his base across the eight local government areas in Sokoto East.
Musa Adar, who has previously represented Gada Goronyo for four terms, faces challenges due to a recent resignation from a political appointment, raising questions about his eligibility. Isa Sadiq Achida, a former state chairman of the APC, is also a strong contender, leveraging his party structure and grassroots support despite security concerns in the region.
The influence of Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, a key figure in the APC, is expected to significantly impact the outcome. As the primaries approach, candidates are intensifying their campaigns and consultations, with no clear frontrunner yet identified.
