Wamakko, whose personal residence in Sokoto plays host to, and provides succor for over 1000 people on daily basis, flagged off the large scale constituency empowerment initiative with Silame, Tangaza, Gudu and Binji local government areas of the State.
Addressing the mammoth crowd on behalf of the Senator, Sokoto State All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Leader, Alhaji Nasiru Italy maintained that Senator Wamakko will always remain that individual who has the interest of the entire state at heart.
A statement by Senator Wamakko’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Bashar Abubakar quoted Nasiru Italy as saying the Senator is committed to genuine economic empowerment of the entire State.
“Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko’s leadership style is inclusive and his benevolence extends beyond his immediate Senatorial District of Sokoto north.
“Senator Wamakko’s commitment to economic empowerment of his people is unwavering and a clear testament to his unparalleled dedication to serving the people of the State. And the gesture will continue in Kware, Sokoto North, Sokoto South and Wamakko local government areas of the State shortly,” Nasiru Italy noted.
On his part, Sokoto State House of Assembly Deputy Speaker, Kabiru Ibrahim Kware maintained that Senator Wamakko is a respected father and political leader in both the State, the Northern region and the country at large regardless of political affiliation.
“Senator Wamakko has brought succor to many, just as his commitment to empowering people equally endears him to all with respect as well,” he stressed.
Registering their appreciation, some of the beneficiaries noted that Senator Wamakko has been doing and will continue to extend his hands of benevolence to all.
According to them, the gesture which includes the provision of motorcycles, sewing and farming machines as well as food items will go a long way in supporting their livelihood.
