The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has kicked off its 2019 presidential campaign at the Shehu Kangiwa
Stadium, Sokoto, in the presence of a mammoth crowd.
The campaign is being moderated
by Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi west senatorial district, who was
recently appointed as one of the eight spokespersons of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) campaign.
A number of former and current
governors of northern states have addressed the crowd, asking them to vote out
the current administration, led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The governors include; Sule
Lamido, former governor of Jigawa; Babangida Aliyu, former governor of Niger
state; Rabiu Kwankwanso, former governor of Kano state; Aminu Tambuwal,
governor of Sokoto state; Darius Ishaku, governor of Taraba state; Ahmed Makarfi, former governor
of Kaduna state.
Also present at the rally is
former president Goodluck Jonathan; former vice-president Namadi Sambo; and
Uche Secondus, the PDP national chairman; Senate President Bukola Saraki;
Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives.
While giving his address, Dogara
said Nigeria is not safer today than it was in 2015, and that the economy has
since deteriorated, asking the people to kick out the Buhari administration.
Most of the governors who spoke
at the rally addressed the people in Hausa and partly in English, reiterating
the same message, asking the people to vote Atiku Abubakar, the presidential
candidate of the PDP.
