Ahmed Aliyu Finally Emerges As Gov Tambuwal’s Successor
Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu, who served as Deputy Governor under Governor Aminu Tambuwal between 2015 and 2019, has finally emerged as his (Tambuwal) successor.
Ahead of the 2019 general election , Aliyu had refused to join Tambuwal in leaving the APC for the PDP and he had done this to show loyalty to Senator Aliyu Wamakko.
That was not all, Ahmed later got nominated as APC guber candidate and sought to stop Tambuwal from getting re-elected but he eventually lost the guber election that was keenly contested.
Tambuwal only managed to win after a re-run of the election.
Not daunted, Ahmed joined the race again last year and his efforts have finally yielded positive results.
The State Collation Officer, Bichi Amaya’u, who announced the election results in Sokoto on Sunday, said Aliyu got 453,661 votes while the PDP guber candidate, Saidu Umar had 404, 632 votes- Team@orientactualmags.com
