Early years
Bello was born in Rabah c. 1910 to the family of Mallam Ibrahim Bello. Sarkin Rabah was his father's name. He is a descendant of Uthman dan Fodio, the Sokoto Caliphate's great-grandson and grandson of Sultan Atiku na Raba. According to Abdullahi dan Fodio, the clan descendant of a Toronkawa (Torodbe) family that is partly Arab and partially Fulani, and therefore a descendant of Muhammad's Hafi family. Caliph Muhammed Bello's book Infaq al-Mansur argued descent from Muhammad through his paternal grandmother's lineage, Hawwa, Wazirin Sokoto, a Fulani scholar, and Ahmadu's scholarship affirmed the claims of descent from the Arabs and part Fulani, although Ahmadu Bello's biography, published after independence, shows that the family of Shehu dan Fodio's Mohammedan descendants of the Arabs and partly Fulani Arabs and partially Fulani Arabs Fulani was not important to the Toto (Torodbe) until the 1804 Jihad, but their literature reveals their ambivalence in establishing Torodbe-Fulani relations. They adopted the Fulbe and a certain sense of culture while still maintaining their distinct identity. The Toronkawa clan at first recruited people from all walks of S.D.'s culture, especially the elderly ones. Fula, Wolof, Mande, Hausa, and Berber were among the Toronkawa clerics. Nevertheless, they spoke the Fula language, married into Fulbe families, and became the Fulbe scholarly caste.
He received Islamic education at home, where he learned the Qur'an, Islamic jurisprudence, and Mohammed's traditions. He later attended Sokoto Provincial School and the Katsina Training College (now Barewa College). Ahmadu Rabah used to be identified as Ahmadu Rabah during his school days. Growing up He left school in 1931 and became the English teacher at Sokoto Middle School, according to some.
Bello was appointed District Head of Rabah by Sultan Hassan dan Mu'azu in 1934, after his brother, who succeeded him. He was promoted to the position of Divisional Head of Gusau (in modern-day Zamfara State) in 1938 and became a member of the Sultan's council. He attempted to become the Sultan of Sokoto in 1938, but he was unable to succeed, losing to Sir Siddiq Abubakar III, who reigned for 50 years until his death in 1988.
The new Sultan appointed Sir Ahmadu Bello (Crown Prince) of Sokoto, a chieftaincy rank, straight away and then elevated him to the Sokoto Native Authority Council. Since he was made the Sultan's Chief Political Advisor, he was immediately crowned Chief Political Advisor. He was later posted in charge of 47 districts, but by 1944, he was back in the Sultan's Palace to serve as the Chief Secretary of the State Native Administration.
Early political career
He joined Jamiya Mutanen Arewa in the 1940s, which would later become the Northern People's Congress (NPC). In 1948, he went to England on a government scholarship to investigate Local Government Administration, which broadened his understanding and knowledge of governance.
He was nominated to represent Sokoto in the provincial House of Assembly after returning from Britain. He was a vocal voice for northern interests in the northern emirates and embraced a style of consultation and compromise with the main leaders of the northern emirates, such as Kano, Bornu and Sokoto. He was chosen alongside others as a member of a committee that redrafted the Richards Constitution, and he also attended a general conference in Ibadan. His service in the assembly and in the constitution drafting committee earned him respect in the north, and he was invited to take on leadership roles within Jamiya Mutan Arewa. Sir Ahmadu Bello was elected as a member of the Northern House of Assembly in 1952 and became a member of the regional executive council as a minister of works in the first elections held in Northern Nigeria. Bello was elected Minister of Works, Local Government, and Community Development in Nigeria's Northern Region. Bello became Nigeria's first Premier in 1954.
Bello led the NPC to gain a plurality of the parliamentary seats in 1959's independence referendum. Bello's NPC formed an alliance with Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe's NCNC (National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons) to create Nigeria's first indigenous federal government, which led to independence from Britain. Bello, the Nigerian president, elected Bello as the NPC's first chief, decided to remain Premier of Northern Nigeria and devolve the position of Prime Minister of the Federation to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
