Zamfara PDP Chairman, Ahmad Sani Is Dead

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State, Ahmad Sani Kaura is dead.

According to reports, Ahmad slumped on Wednesday in Gusau, the state capital, at a peace accord meeting with Zamfara State Council of Ulama ahead of next year’s poll.

A chieftain of the party in the state, Aminu Umar, disclosed that Kaura was sick and had not fully recovered before attending meetings.

According to him, the chairman was invited alongside other PDP stakeholders by the Council of Ulama for a meeting on how to avoid political violence in the state.

Umar added that Ahmad was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital in Gusau where he was confirmed dead by the doctors.

Kaura, 62, succeeded Bala Mande as the chairman of the party in Zamfara in September this year after the former chairman voluntarily resigned his position to contest for Zamfara North Senatorial Election.

The late chairman died living behind two wives and six children.
