With the election few days away, report from the North says 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.
