Goronyo commended Tambuwal’s leadership and praised the unity among party members, predicting that the PDP would emerge victorious in the state’s next electoral cycle.
The initiative underscores Tambuwal’s ongoing efforts to provide relief to his constituents and strengthen the party’s presence in Sokoto State amid prevailing economic challenges.
