The Sokoto State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has elected new executive members to run its affairs. The election was held at Giginya Memorial Stadium, Sokoto, the state capital.

 

After the election, the 39-member executive committee led by Alhaji Bello Aliyu Goronyo, erstwhile commissioner for solid minerals in the state, was sworn-in. Speaking at the ceremony, Governor Aminu Tambuwal commended members of the party from the ward level to the state level for their cooperation, transparency and synergy, which he said led to the emergence of the new leadership of the party at the various levels.
