Hajiya Mariya Tambuwal, the wife of Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State, has called for peaceful conduct in the state’s March 18, Governorship and State Assembly elections.
Mrs. Tambuwal made the call at a campaign rally for the Sokoto South Senatorial District, organised by the state’s Women Wing of PDP on Saturday.
The first lady appreciated women in the state for coming out massively to cast their votes at the Feb. 25 Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
Represented by Prof. Aisha Madawaki, the state Commissioner for Higher Education, Tambuwal called on women to monitor their children to avoid being lured into violence during the polls.
“These children are our treasure, we should monitor their activities to not be deceived into violence by desperate politicians.
“Any politician who asks them to create violence should be told to align with his children in carrying out the task.
“Moreover, as good citizens, we should continue to be patient and remain peaceful,” she said.
She further urged the PDP women and youth in the state to stand firm at the coming elections to ensure their votes are counted.
“PDP is a party which is built with the mission of peace and peaceful coexistence, as such we should follow our mandate peacefully,” she added.
