Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal, on Friday, received a heroic welcome on his return to Sokoto after last weekend’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary in Abuja.
A mammoth crowd also besieged the Sultan Abubakar Airport in Sokoto to receive Tambuwal and his entourage.
Due to the large crowd that received him, the governor’s convoy moved at a snail pace from the airport to the Sokoto metropolis.
The excited crowd also sang and danced as they joined the governor’s convoy to the city.
It is important to note that Tambuwal, one of the leading PDP presidential aspirants, had stepped down for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, the venue of the convention.
The Sokoto Governor also directed his supporters to vote for Atiku while the development assisted Atiku to win the PDP’s presidential ticket.
Atiku scored 371 votes to defeat his closest rival, Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike, who received 237 votes.
