He is a man whose time has come. A highly cerebral public office holder respected in the Nigerian polity and outside the shores of the continent of Africa as a politician and businessman who walks his talk, having a tested integrity built on honesty and hard work. No wonder, most natives of Sokoto State are now clamoring, campaigning and demanding the true leadership of this great-grandson of Sultan Aliyu Karami ibn Muhammad Bello bn shekh Usman bn Fodio, a direct member of the ruling dynasty of the Sokoto Caliphate, YUSUF SULEIMAN whose royal title is \u2018Dan Amar Sokoto\u2019 to becoming the incoming Governor of Sokoto State in the 2027 election.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He emphasized his vision to improve key sectors such as Security, education, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, and youth empowerment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am stepping forward with a clear sense of responsibility and a deep desire to serve the good people of Sokoto State. Together, we can build a more prosperous, secure, and united Sokoto,\u201d he stated.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hon. Suleiman called on all citizens, party members, and stakeholders across the state to rally behind his candidacy and support the ADC in its mission to provide credible leadership and sustainable progress.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

He reaffirmed his dedication to transparency, accountability, and people-oriented governance if elected.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
