  News   The Sokoto State government has debunked reports claiming Governor Ahmed Aliyu accompanied Abia State Governor, Alex Otti , during his visit to the detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu , at the Sokoto Custodial Centre . In a statement issued by Aliyu’s spokesperson, Abubakar Bawa , the government dismissed the narrative as false and mischievous. “For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Ahmed Aliyu was in the Holy Land performing Lesser Hajj as of 30th November 2025, at the time Dr. Otti privately visited Sokoto State,” the statement said. According to the clarification, Governor Otti was received not by Aliyu but by selected commissioners and Special Advisers, who escorted him to Government House to receive standard protocol courtesies accorded to visiting governors. “As you all know, the people of Sokoto are hospitable.

Otti’s Visit to Tinubu Was Purely About His Political Survival Not Nnamdi Kanu | #NwokeukwuMascot

  News   Fresh revelations have further punctured the narrative circulated by Governor Alex Otti ’s media team regarding his recent visit to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu . While they attempted to suggest that the governor’s trip to Aso Rock was centred on the plight of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu , credible information now shows the visit had nothing to do with the imprisoned IPOB leader and everything to do with Otti’s own political future. This misleading narrative was amplified after Governor Otti made a highly publicised visit to Nnamdi Kanu at the Sokoto Correctional Centre , where the IPOB leader is currently serving a controversial life sentence handed down by the Omotosho led Abuja High Court . The visit, strategically timed, was widely interpreted by political observers as a decoy designed to confuse the public and create an emotional atmosphere ahead of the governor’s trip to Abuja. According to authoritative sources, the sudden emphasis on Kanu’s situation was a deliber...
