Sokoto governor Aminu Tambuwal has threatened to expose the alleged dirty laundry of the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the stat Aliyu Wamakko.

Governor Tambuwal warned Wamakko that if pushed to the wall, he would reveal the dirty details that he had helped the APC leader to cover up.
He said: “When I became the Governor, some elders in the state advised him to draw a line which I did. I want us to remain in that course. They know what they left behind and if I open their can of worms, it will not augur well with some of them”.
Then he warned: ”If I am pushed to the wall, some of them will run away not even the EFCC can contain them. So let the sleeping dog lies.”
Tambuwal also warned political parties against causing violence in the state, noting that he wants Sokoto to remain the peaceful state it is known as.

Alkanchi’s cousin, an Information officer of the Sokoto state university, Zayyanu Shehu confirmed his death.
