SUKKUR, Aug 22: The Governor of Sindh, Mohammedmian Soomro, has said in Jacobabad that my resignation would be accepted within two or three days and I would return to Jacobabad after its acceptance to start my election campaign for NA-208. “This seat belongs to my family and I will definitely contest for it.”

He said this while talking to newsmen at the Jacobabad Press Club on Wednesday.
