Kano PDP gets executives

By Fanen Ihyongo, Kano

Kano State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday elected executives to run the affairs of the party for the next four years.

The election follows a High Court ruling in Kano, which dismissed the petition filed by the Aminu Wali factional PDP challenging the ward and local government congresses that were organised by the Danladi Umar Abdulhameed-led caretaker committee.

The court held that the Abdulhameed caretaker committee, which is loyal to former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was the legitimate leadership of the opposition party.

Shehu Wada Sagagi emerged as the state chairman, Dankaka Hussaini Bebeji became deputy chairman, while Jamilu Abubakar Dambatta is secretary.

Other names of the new executives, which were inaugurated by Aminu Abdullahi Dala, after emerging unopposed, were given as:

Idris Zarewa (Treasurer), Halima Uba Jalli (Women Leader), Hafizu Sharif Gambo (Youth Leader), Sunusi Sirajo Kwankwaso (Organising Secretary), Bashir Aminu Sanata (PRO) Dahiru Maitama Abdullahi (Financial Secretary) and Auwalu Nagero (Auditor).

Others are Hamisu Sa’ad Dogonnama (Vice Chairman, Kano Central), Hashim Sulaiman Dungurawa (Vice Chairman, Kano North), Mutari Muhammad Dankadai (Vice Chairman, Kano South), Rabi’u Isa Kofar Mata (Disable leader), I. I Maigida (Legal Adviser), Abubakar Sulaiman Rogo (Assistant Secretary, Kano South) and Binta Musa Bintoto (PRO II).

Other state officials are: Amina Garba (Assistant Legal Adviser), Faruk Gwadabe (Ex – officio), Ali Ibrahim (Assistant organising secretary, Kano South), Isma’il Sabo Abba (Assistant organising secretary, Kano Central), Jamilu Garba Garo (Assistant organising secretary, Kano North), Atine Abdullahi (Assistant auditor), Aina’u Muhammad Bichi (Assistant Women Leader) and Mariya Sani (Zonal women leader, Kano South).

Former Kano governor, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, thanked the National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus and the outgoing state caretaker committee for their efforts in conducting party election from ward to state level.

The new Chairman, Shehu Wada Sagagi, said the election of PDP new executives marks the beginning of electioneering campaign for 2023 general election.
