The National Leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has nominated Senator Ibrahim Gobir, representing Sokoto East as the new Senate Leader and Chairman of the APC caucus in the Senate.
The party’s decision was contained in a letter addressed to the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, and signed by the National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu.
