Hajiya Gumel was accompanied by a former Commissioner of Information, Youth, Sports and Culture under former Governor Sule Lamido’s administration, Alhaji Aminu Muhammad at the residence of the PDP Governorship candidate, Mustapha Sule Lamido where she was given a rousing welcome and integrated into the PDP fold.
Lamido (jnr) assured her that she will enjoy all rights and priviledges due to all PDP members.
According to the PDP standard bearer in the State, She and her supporters and followers will be received in an elaborate ceremony to formally and officially welcome her to the PDP fold on a later date.
