2027: Calls grow for Maituta to salvage Zamfara
The rising political profile of Sanusi Maituta is generating fresh conversations across Zamfara State, as key stakeholders begin to reassess alliances ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His growing influence comes at a time when the state’s political landscape is witnessing significant shifts, marked by defections, strategic alignments, and intense repositioning among major power blocs.
Political observers note that Maituta’s return to active politics could disrupt existing structures, particularly within the All Progressives Congress (APC), where he previously contested as a governorship aspirant in the 2023 elections.
Sources familiar with developments say his presence is already resonating strongly among youth groups and grassroots mobilisers, many of whom see his emergence as a potential turning point in Zamfara’s evolving political dynamics.
Meanwhile, associates and allies have intensified calls for Maituta to formally declare his ambition, urging him to contest and “rescue Zamfara,” citing his track record and capacity to reposition the state for growth and development.
Beyond politics, Maituta is widely recognised in business circles, with investments spanning multiple sectors. His philanthropic footprint has further strengthened his appeal at the grassroots level, where his interventions are said to have made measurable impact.
As permutations ahead of 2027 gather momentum, analysts believe Maituta’s next political move, particularly his choice of platform and alliances, could significantly shape the direction of the governorship contest in Zamfara State.
