The Chairman of opposition Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) in Zamfara state Dr. Ahmed Sani Kaura, has dead at the age of 62.
Dr. Ahmed Sani Kaura died shortly after he attended a peace meeting organised by the Nigeria Council of Ulamah, Zamfara state chapter on Wednesday.
The Secretary of the party, Faruku Ahmed Gusau, said the chairman who was invited along with PDP stakeholders by the Council of Ulamah for a meeting on how to eschew political thuggery in the state, had developed sickness immediately after he delivered a speech at the occasion.
Gusau said he was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital where he was confirmed dead by doctors.
The Nigeria Council of Ulamah is organizing a sensitisation meeting with all the political parties in the state on how to ensure peaceful conduct of 2023 general elections.
Kaura 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.
Dr. Kaura is survived by two wives and six children.
