Mrs Wina was received by Northern Province minister Freedom Sikazwe, his permanent secretary Hlobotha Nkunika, District Commissioners, senior government and party officials and hundreds of party cadres.
And speaking upon her arrival, Mrs Wina implored the people of Northern Province to rally behind President Lungu.
She explained that President Lungu has shown diligence in managing the affairs of the country.
Mrs Wina pointed out that President Lungu came into office when the country was faced with many challenges.
She said President Lungu can only manage to achieve the smart Zambia vision once he is fully supported by every well-meaning Zambian.
The Vice President urged PF members to embrace new members as the new constitution demands that the presidents wins by 50 + 1.

Mr Sikazwe assured the Vice President that Northern Province is ready to give President Lungu a hundred percent vote.
A tight schedule awaits the Vice President during her three days visit to Northern Province.
Among the programmes the Vice President is expected to monitor is the presidential hammer mill project in Kasama, government projects in Mbala and commissioning of St Mary’s College of Education.
Mrs Wina is expected to fly back to Lusaka on Sunday January 24 after concluding her tour of the province.
