Former Governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, has commended Gov. Ahmed Aliyu for adopting the leadership style of the late Premier of the defunct Northern Region, Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto.
Bafarawa gave the commendation when he received Gov. Aliyu, who paid him a condolence visit over the recent passing of his younger sister, Hajiya Tumba, and his aide, Yahaya Dada.
According to Bafarawa, Gov. Aliyu has been replicating the leadership qualities of Sir Ahmadu Bello and urged him to maintain the momentum.
“Your style of leadership is quite similar to that of the late Sir Ahmadu Bello. So, continue with it,” he said.
The former Governor also praised Gov. Aliyu for fostering peace and unity in the State and assured him of his continued support and assistance.

He noted that the Governor’s inclusive governance style has significantly transformed Sokoto’s political landscape by leaving no room for opposition, owing to his positive peace-building initiatives.
“Whenever there is a misunderstanding or dispute, you always intervene until an amicable resolution is reached. This is indeed commendable, so keep it up,” he urged.
Bafarawa also expressed gratitude for the Governor’s concern over his personal matters and urged him to continue the good work he has started, particularly ensuring that all loyal supporters are duly appreciated and compensated.
