“Whatever development you see in Katsina was undertaken by the PDP including this stadium, New Government House,” he added.
Atiku’s running mate, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, and the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu were some of the personalities who attended the event.
The campaign train on arrival at about 2:07 pm was warmly received by the Katsina PDP governorship candidate, Yakubu Lado Dan Marke, his running mate, Arch. Ahmed Aminu Yar’adua and the Director General, Atiku/Lado Campaign, Mustapha Inuwa among other party supporters.
