No fewer than 750 women from the All
Progressives party (APC) from the 23 local
governments in Sokoto State on Tuesday defected
to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The decampees, led by Luba Dubai, APC chieftain,
were received by the state Chairman’s wife, Sa’adiya
Milgoma, at the PDP women rally in Sokoto on
Tuesday. “The new entrants will be treated equally and fairly,
and we should all work to ensure the success of
the party at the forthcoming polls at all levels,’’
Milgoma said. A former Minister of Women Affairs, Maryam
Chiroma, appealed to Nigerians, especially women
not to be deceived, stating that the re-election of
Jonathan will ensure the continuation of his
transformation agenda. Chiroma, who was also PDP’s former National
Woman Leader, said, “the Nigerian women should
use their majority population and voting power to
re-elect Jonathan’’. In her remarks, Sarah Jubril, the Special Assistant to
Jonathan on Ethics, said that the president had
treated the North-West fairly and deserved to be re-
elected. A member of the party’s Board of Trustees, Rabi
Ibrahim, said that “Jonathan is the first gender-
friendly president Nigeria has ever had since
independence. “Mrs Jonathan cares about the Nigerian woman
and she is passionate about improving the lives of
the Nigerian children and other vulnerable
groups,’’ she said. The Special Assistant to Jonathan on Women
Empowerment, Ramatu Bala, also urged the women
to vote for Jonathan. Bala, a former National President of National Council
for Women Society, said that Jonathan’s re-election
would ensure the sustenance of peace, unity and
national cohesion. The wives of the Deputy Governor, PDP
gubernatorial candidate and Woman Leader, Kulu
Shagari, A’ishatu Wali and Kulu Rabah, promised
that women would vote for the party’s candidates
at all levels
