Tambuwal Handed 2019 PDP Governorship Ticket In Sokoto

By Farouk Mohammed

Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State has gotten the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket ahead of the 2019 elections.

Tambuwal is among the 36 candidates the party would submit their names to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), okaynews.com gathered.

“We are forging ahead with our preparation and as we said, all segments of the party are being carried along,” a source at the PDP told Punch.

“We have given the governorship ticket to Aminu Tambuwal to be our candidate in Sokoto State next year.

He is a good party man and we also know that he will deliver the state to the PDP.

“We couldn’t have denied him the governorship ticket just because he wanted to be the presidential candidate, which he lost to another eminently qualified person, Atiku Abubakar.”
