Following its zonal caucus meeting held on September 8, 2021 in Abuja, the Peoples Democratic Party has replaced former Governor of Niger State, Muazu Babangida Aliyu, with Senator Zaynab Kure as member of the Board of Trustees representing the North Central.
This comes barely a month after Tanko Beji emerged as the Niger State Chairman of the party in August this year.
It followed the PDP Congress scheduled for September 12, 2020, which was marred by violence.
In a congratulatory message dated September 14, 2021 and signed by the Zonal Secretary, Chief Maurice Tsav, the Peoples Democratic Party North Central Zone said the wife of late Governor Abdulkadir Kure earned the nomination because of her motherly love and role in the party.
The zonal leadership in the letter titled: “Congrats to an invaluable Mother on your PDP- BOT nomination,” said: “We are most excited with the choice of your membership of the PDP- BOT, and the trust the Party has reposed in you.
“I write on behalf of the chairman, Hon. Theophilus Dakas Sham, the leadership and teeming members of the PDP North Central Zone to wholeheartedly felicitate with you on your worthy nomination and subsequent endorsement as member of the PDP-BOT representing North Central Zone.
“By this nomination, Senator Zaynab Kure replaces former Governor Babangida Aliyu who had occupied the position for several years.
“Surely, this new assignment will provide another platform for you (Senator Zaynab) to extend your tentacles of motherly love we have always identified with you in the party.
“Your motherly love and disposition informed the unanimous nomination and overwhelmingly endorsement into membership of the PDP-BOT by the Zonal caucus meeting held on September 8th, 2021 in Abuja. We are confident that you will make us proud in the BOT.”
