According to the letter, Alhaji Lawal-Uli will function in acting capacity. Alhaji Majigiri is PDP’s candidate for the House of Representatives seat to represent Mashi/Dutsi Constituency.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Majigiri has been the chairman of the party in the state for the past seven years, while Lawal-Uli has been his deputy. Majigiri earlier resigned as chairman in May to contest for the PDP governorship ticket which he lost to Sen. Yakubu Lado-Danmarke, but later returned as the party’s chairman. NAN also reports that the letter was copied to INEC Chairman, the Commissioner of Police in Katsina State, and the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the state.
