Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Sokoto state, Alhaji Ibrahim Milgoma, Sunday said arrangements had been concluded to ensure the successful one-day visit of the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, to the state on March 3 for the continuation of the ongoing presidential campaigns of the PDP.
He also called on the people of the North to vote massively for President Goodluck Jonathan to continue with the transformation agenda.
Speaking with newsmen in Sokoto on Sunday, Milgoma said the First Lady was expected to flag off the distribution of free fertilizer and rice to thousands of women across the 23 local government areas of the state.
He described the visit of the First Lady as a routine one across Nigeria, saying she would be in the state to canvass for the votes of the women, as they formed the majority of the voting population.
Milgoma lauded the sterling contributions of the First Lady to the emancipation of the Nigerian women, children and other vulnerable groups.
He also maintained that President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP were fully committed to the peaceful conduct of the forthcoming general elections.
"The elections would hold as scheduled and they will be conducted peacefully and successfully, while the winners would be given their mandate.
"Nigerians should therefore re-elect Jonathan to enable him sustain the ongoing commendable transformation agenda,''he said.
In a remark, the Deputy Coordinator of the Jonathan/ Sambo Campaign Organization in the state, Alhaji Ibrahim Gidado, said the party was fully ready for the forthcoming polls.
"Sokoto PDP is ready for the elections and I am optimistic that all the party's candidates at all levels will emerge victorious. So, the forthcoming elections should not be taken as a do or die affair as God had since destined the winners,"he averred.
