The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed Aliyu, has been declared the winner of Saturday’s governorship election in Sokoto State.

Mr Aliyu polled the highest number of votes and has been declared the winner of the governorship election in Sokoto state.

The State Collation Officer, Bichi Amaya’u, who announced the result in Sokoto on Sunday, said Mr Aliyu polled a total of 453,661 votes to defeat his closest rival and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Saidu Umar, who polled 404,632.
