THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Ahmad Aliyu, winner of the Governorship Election in Sokoto State.
The APC candidate defeated his PDP counterpart with a total of 453,661 votes, while his closest rival Saidu Umar of the PDP polled a total vote of 404632.
Recall that Aliyu was the deputy governor to the incumbent Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal from 2015 to 2018, when he resigned from office over political difference with Tambuwal.

According to the declared results, Ahmed Aliyu won in 18 out of the 23 local government areas of the State.
He won in Binji, Wurno, Yabo, Gwadabawa, Rabah, Bodinga, Tangaza, Kware, Dange-Shuni, Sabon Birnin, Shagari, Illela, Gudu, Gada, Kebbe, Sokoto South, Wamakko and Sokoto North local government areas.
