Senator Wamakko, the senator representing Sokoto North Senatorial District, and the state’s governor between 2007 and 2015, has slammed claims that he misappropriated N18billion with Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, while they were in office.  Wamakko, reacting to the allegation said the media publication tying him to fraud is not from EFCC. “I have never had N1billion in my life. I am not a rich man. I don’t keep money.”

“It was part of the ceaseless but abortive evil machinations of a failed politician who thinks that Wamakko should never breathe and live. The frail, failed, ungodly politician and his unpatriotic mercenaries want to bring Wamakko down. It is the Almighty Allah that made Wamakko what he is now and He is the only one who can bring him down. I have never stolen any money.” 

He continued saying when he was governor, he served the state deligently and honestly. “During my tenure as governor, I only visited United States and United Kingdom once each and they were all based on invitation.” On EFCC inviting him, Wamakko said;  “is a reputable agency that has officials with respect and decorum, who will never use uncourteous and unethical language like the one used in the publication.” Photo Credit: Various
