Bello Aliyu Goronyo has been re-elected as the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto State during the party’s state congress held on Saturday at the PDP secretariat in the state capital. Goronyo secured 2,567 votes as the sole candidate for the chairmanship position, a result announced by Hon. Mukhtar Lugga, the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, who described the election as fair and transparent.
In his address, Lugga emphasized the importance of party unity as the PDP prepares to reclaim Sokoto State in the 2027 elections, stating, “The PDP is a formidable party in Nigeria. We should work to ensure the party remains united as an indivisible family.”
In his acceptance speech, Goronyo acknowledged the re-election as a challenge and pledged to collaborate with party leaders to strengthen the PDP in Sokoto.
The congress also saw the election of new executives, including:
- Aliyu Mohammed FC (Deputy Chairman)
- Abubakar Zaki Bashire (Secretary)
- Zainab Nasir (Women Leader)
All executives were re-elected unopposed for a second term, marking what newly elected Publicity Secretary Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal described as a new beginning for the Sokoto PDP.
