| Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal |
Tambuwal finished second behind Atiku Abubakar, who emerged the party
presidential candidate at its Convention held in Port-Harcourt, Rivers
State on Oct. 6.
Festus Okoye, INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education, who confirmed the substitution said Tambuwal now replaces the name of Manir Dan’Iya, earlier submitted as the party flag bearer.
It was believed that Dan’Iya, who was Tambuwal’s Commissioner for
Local Government Affairs, had only held the PDP governorship ticket for
Tambuwal in case he (Tambuwal) lost the party’s presidential ticket.
Dan’Iya had emerged as PDP consensus candidate.
Okoye also noted that Dan’Iya, by the substitution, automatically becomes the deputy governorship candidate of the party for Sokoto State.
