Mohammed Aminu in Sokoto

Sokoto state deputy governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Shagari, on Tuesday said the people of Sokoto will reciprocate the gesture done to the Second Republic President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari by the South South in 1979 by voting for President Goodluck Jonathan in the forthcoming general elections.

Shagari made the remark on Tuesday, at a town hall meeting organised by the Sokoto state chapter of the Goodluck Support Group  in Sokoto.

Shagari maintained that the people of South South gave the NPN over one million votes which led to his father's victory in the presidential elections in 1979.

According to him, it would amount to betrayal for the people to reject Jonathan at this moment, saying no amount of misinformation by the All Progressive Congress would prevent Sokoto people from voting for Jonathan.

"March 28 is a pay-back time for us and the people of Sokoto are ready to pay back the South South for the gesture done to the former president by voting for Jonathan.

"We cannot turn our backs on Jonathan now that he needs the votes of the people of Sokoto and by God's grace he will be re-elected," Shagari said.

He stated that the APC was desperate to get power and had been using religion to create division among Northerners.

The deputy governor averred that the antics of the APC would end up in vain, as the PDP will record landslide in the forthcoming polls.

Correct!!!...people of Sokoto can't afford to vote a Certificateless despotic tyrant who truncated our first democratically elected government, which their son Shagari headed.

Ur dumb brain wouldn't allow u see other reasons except the one u mentioned above. Even the simple truth he mentioned there that APC are using religion to divide northerners, ur silly brain skipped it cos it is against ur aim.

GEJ till 2019, if need be, let's say thank u to him and extend it to 2030. Motherfuckers will die.

Yes ooh, Unlike SW, history will judge them

Lol.. This man is funny. Even GEJ isn't expecting up to 20percent in sokoto.

its a shame you've swiftly resorted to name calling especially as i've not even shown any affiliation to any party,as a matter of fact both parties are guilty of using religion as a tool,try and be objective insults/name calling will lead you nowhere

pdp seems to b using the religious factor more. Sambo told a crowd that his name was coined from namadina which means the man from medina and that he is more Islamic than buhari. He also said how can they say buhari is Islamic when his VP is a pastor with several churches round the country.
Also, jona seeks more public endorsements from pastors than buhari seeks endorsements from imams.

Defin8ly not the Sokoto I know.
