As Nigeria goes to
the polls on Saturday, the wife of the vice president, Amina Namadi
Sambo yesterday flagged off the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) women
and youths door-to-door campaign in Kaduna State for the election of
President Goodluck Jonathan and Governor Patrick Yakowa.

Mrs. Sambo told the
women and youths who attended the rally at Ranchers Bees Stadium in
Kaduna to vote only for PDP candidates because of the laudable
programmes embarked upon by the Jonathan administration and for the
transformation and unity of the country.

“President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan has agreed to implement the 35 percent women
representation in both elective and appointive positions and improve
the living condition of women and youths. In Kaduna State we are lucky
in this present administration of President Jonathan. There is need for
this state to vote for him come next month elections.”

The youths and
women, drawn from the 23 local governments in the state, assured the
wife of the vice president that they would embark on a neighbour-to
neighbour campaign to ensure victory for PDP candidates during the
elections.

Mrs. Sambo also advised mothers to warn their children against political thuggery during the elections.

In her address, the
wife of the Kaduna State governor, Amina Ibrahim Yakowa, said the
desired transformation of Nigerian women in various areas of their
endeavour which include, health, empowerment and increased political
awareness among women would be realised if the duo of Jonathan and
Yakowa are elected president and governor respectively.
