A former Chairman of the Sokoto State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ibrahim Milgoma, has passed away.

A statement by the party, made available to newsmen on Wednesday, revealed that Milgoma died on Tuesday after a protracted illness.

The party described his death as a colossal loss, not only to the party in the state but also at the national level.
