The Peoples Democratic Party has said it will win Saturday’s (today) governorship election in Sokoto State with wide margin.
The acting National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, stated this in Abuja on Friday when he received a delegation of the African National Congress led by its chairman, Mrs. Baleka Mbete, in his office.
He said the PDP was confident of winning the election as the party had done its homework well.
Baraje said, “We will perform magic, miracles and win the Sokoto State governorship election.”
He told the visiting ANC delegation how the PDP won the re-run governorship election in Kogi, Adawama and Bayelsa states.
He boasted that the party was sure of winning in Sokoto and Cross River states.
Baraje said the PDP was a radical people’s movement that was formed by the founding fathers to finally push back the military out of governance.
He said, “The members of the G34 that founded the party, courageously at the expense of their lives, ensured that the military returned to the barracks.”
In her response, Mbete described the centenary celebration of the ANC as that of liberty and deepening of democracy in Africa.
She said Africans should not see the celebration as only for card-carrying members of the ANC, but for the liberation of all Africans.
Meanwhile, Senator Abba Aji has joined the ranks of Bamanga Tukur and Shettima Mustafa to pick the national chairmanship nomination form. His form was picked by the Director-General of his campaign, Dr. Bolere Ketebu.
Ketebu told reporters at the PDP national secretariat that Abba Aji remained the candidate to beat because of his pedigree and experience as an administrator.
He said, however, that the choice of a new chairman of the party would depend on the delegates and stakeholders.
