PDP Sokoto Inaugurates Committee for National Convention

The Sokoto State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formed a committee to oversee the state’s participation in the party’s upcoming national convention. The event, held on Tuesday in Sokoto, was chaired by State Chairman Hon. Muhammadu Bello Aliyu Goronyo, who stressed the importance of unity and discipline within the party.

According to a statement by State Publicity Secretary Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, the committee is chaired by State Organising Secretary Alhaji Abubakar Chika Shuni, with Assistant State Secretary Alhaji Mustapha Lanas Gidadawa serving as secretary. Members include Hon. Abubakar Magaji, Minority Leader of the Sokoto State House of Assembly; Barr. Abdulrahman Abubakar, State Legal Adviser; and Alhaji Nasiru Shehu Kware, State Auditor. The committee also comprises Chairman of the Local Government Chairmen Forum Alhaji Bello Mai Karfi and PDP North‑West Zonal Youth Leader Atiku Muhammad Yabo.

The primary objective of the committee is to ensure the smooth participation of Sokoto delegates at the national convention scheduled for November 15 and 16. Sanyinnawal noted that the Sokoto chapter remains committed to promoting internal democracy and unity ahead of future elections. Establishing this committee is a crucial step toward effective coordination and representation of the state’s interests at the convention.

The PDP’s national convention is a significant event in Nigeria’s political calendar, bringing together party members from across the country to shape the party’s direction and leadership. As one of the major opposition parties, the convention is likely to have far‑reaching implications for the nation’s political landscape. With the committee in place, the Sokoto State chapter is well positioned to make a meaningful contribution to the convention and advance the party’s interests in the region. As the party prepares for upcoming elections, the committee’s work will be essential to ensuring that the Sokoto chapter remains united and effective in its participation.
