The deputy governor of Sokoto State, Manir Dan’Iya, has denied rumours of his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party.

The Director of Press, office of the deputy governor, Aminu Abubakar told Punch that his boss has dismissed rumours of his resignation from the party.

Aminu, however, confirmed that the deputy governor remains a bonafide member of the PDP in the state as well as a senatorial candidate of the party in the forthcoming general elections.
