Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state has clinched the senatorial ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The governor was affirmed the flagbearer of the party for Sokoto South senatorial district.
He was declared winner during a primary election which held on Saturday.
Tambuwal will now challenge the candidates of other parties including his former political ally and incumbent, Danbaba Danbuwa, who decamped to the All Progressive Congress (APC) earlier this year.
It would be recalled that the development is coming after Tambuwal had stepped down for former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, during the PDP’s presidential primary which held last weekend.
Also, this is not the first time Tambuwal would seek another position after losing a presidential primary.
In 2018, after losing the PDP presidential primary, Tambuwal returned to Sokoto to put up his governorship ticket.
