The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has been declared the senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for Sokoto South.
Tambuwal seeks to represent seven Local Government Areas in the Red Chamber come 2023.
The LGAs are Bodinga, Dange/Shuni, Kebbe, Shagari, Tambuwal, Tureta, and Yabo.
Recall that the governor, last week, stepped down for former vice president Atiku Abubakar at the presidential primary of the party in Abuja.
