Jonathan would during the visit, welcome the former Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa and his supporters, who decamped from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently.
A statement signed by the Media Aide to the former governor, Alhaji Yusuf Dingyadi said the ceremony would take place at Shehu Kangiwa Square, Sokoto and would be attended by all PDP supporters across the 23 local government areas of the state.
According to the statement, those expected to be at the grand reception included National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, national executive members, PDP governors, ministers, former governors as well as former ministers from the North-west.
The statement added that the president would also inspect the PDP state headquarters and later hold a meeting with the elders of the party before returning to Abuja.
Bafarawa had two weeks ago defected to the PDP along with his supporters, accusing the national leadership of the APC of injustice.
Banners and posters of PDP are being placed in strategic areas and major roundabouts in the Sokoto metropolis ahead of the visit.
