“We also remember that era witnessed unity as the Fulani, Yoruba, Igbo and minority tribes were fully integrated.

                

“We urge Nigerians to eschew politics of bitterness as the campaign is set to commence. We declare to Nigerian’s that Atiku Abubakar represents peace,” she said.

The group called on the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration to work towards free, fair and credible elections, noting that when the PDP lost power in 2015, it conceded defeat contrary to the expectations in some quarters.

“PDP was magnanimous in defeat and is poised to continue the economic, social and political transformation truncated in the last three years,” she added.

Speaking further, Farida noted that the Katsina Youth Voice have been mobilizing door to door in Katsina, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kano and  Sokoto states in readiness for campaign. 

She said, the organization is embarking on a one million man March for Atiku in Katsina in the coming weeks. This she said will be done in collaboration with other support groups in Sokoto, Kano,  Kebbi, Katsina and Kuduna States.

“Preparations are already in top gear for the event which will feature women groups, youth groups and political stakeholders in the states,” she said.
