The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Monday, 3rd December, kicked off his 2019 presidential campaign at the Shehu Kangiwa Stadium, Sokoto, in the presence of a mammoth crowd.

 

The campaign was moderated by Senator Dino Melaye, who was recently appointed as one of the eight spokespersons of the PDP presidential campaign council.

 

It was gathered that a number of former and current governors of northern states addressed the crowd, asking them to vote out the current administration, led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

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.
