Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara state, Dr. Sani Ahmad, is dead.
He died on Wednesday in Gusau after a brief illness.
He was 62.
Deputy chairman of the party, Alhaji Mukhtar Lugga, has confirmed the death.
He said the late Sani was hale and hearty, but suddenly became sick after being part of a consultative meeting with the state Council of Ulama on Wednesday in Gusau.
He said doctors confirmed Sani’s death as he was rushed to the Al-Hilal Hospital in Gusau.
Sani is survived by two wives and six children.
The deceased emerged as the PDP state chairman on Sept. 23 following the resignation of Col. Bala Mande who had picked the party’s senatorial ticket for Zamfara north.
