Five out of 11 federal constituencies aspiring for the seat of House of Representatives on the platform of the Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP) in Sokoto state, including the Chairman House committee on Interior, Hon. Umaru Bature, who emerged by consensus in Saturday’s primaries.
Bature was elected unopposed by no fewer than 89 delegates of the party at the premises of St. Paul Primary School in Sokoto and their decision was rectified in a voting pattern.
Speaking on his election, Bature thanked the party leadership as well as delegates for the trust and confidence reposed in him to fly the flag of the party in the general elections, assuring that his party would emerge victorious in the election.
The party state chairman, Alhaji Ibrahim Milgoma told Journalists that the party has succeeded in having an incumbent senator, Alhaji Ahmed Muhammad Maccido as its candidate for Sokoto Central zone.
Maccido’s emergence, Milgoma explained followed Alhaji Ibrahim MagajiGusau’s withdrawal last night (Friday) from the race. “Gusau sent in a letter withdrawing his aspiration to us and we acknowledged and thank him for simplifying our work”, he explained. ( Daily Trust)
