Thousands of supporters of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, thronged Giginya Memorial Stadium on Tuesday to receive the party’s presidential campaign train as the day was Sokoto State’s turn.
On that occasion, the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the state, Mallam Saidu Umar FCNA, (Mallam Ubandoman Sokoto) expressed in his remarks overwhelming appreciation for the people who gathered in large numbers to celebrate the significant event.
“We are indeed very grateful to Almighty Allah for this day. We do not have enough words to express our gratitude to our people in the state of Sokoto – the seat of the caliphate,” he said.
He said showing unwavering solidarity and support, as reflected in the massive crowd during the campaign, was clear confirmation that the people of the state were dissatisfied with the mismanagement of the APC government in the country.
However, Mallam Ubandoma pointed out that the sheer number of people in the campaign also meant staggering satisfaction among the people with the performance of the current PDP government of Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
Umar told the gathering that their support for Atiku Abubakar, if translated into votes, would be a vote for change to replace the change that had failed the nation.
Mallam Ubandoma hoped that on election day, people would take to the streets in large numbers to vote for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and all the party’s other candidates.
