The election process started yesterday, December 4, across the country for the major opposition party to pick candidates for 2015 polls, The Nation reports.
After the result was announced, Tambuwal, who has recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC, thanked the delegates for their support and call on all the APC supporters to ensure the victory of the party in 2015, Sahara Reporters adds.
“I, therefore, wish to thank delegates and the good people of Sokoto State with the hope that you will extend your support to the party to ensure we form a responsive government that will transform the state.”
Mr. Umana Okon Umana won in Akwa Ibom, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor in Delta, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Belo in Niger.
Meanwhile governors Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara), Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa) and Ibrahim Gaidam (Yobe) got returned for the second term.
