Agency Report

The Kaduna State gubernatorial candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Isa Ashiru has urged the people of the State to prepare and vote to bring back the party back to power.
The call was made In a press statement signed by Reuben Buhari, Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, PDP State Campaign Directorate and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Kaduna
In the statement, Ashiru explained that while the PDP supporters might have felt demoralised about the outcome of the Presidential and National Assembly election, they are possibly wondering why they should bother to go and vote in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections.
"Giving up and staying at home might sound tempting but wouldn't come with any lasting reward for everyone.
"Voting for the PDP next Saturday, irrespective of party differences, would ensure that everyone finishes as a winner.
"If our dream is to have a secure, prosperous Kaduna State, then we owe it to ourselves and our families to resolve to go and vote for the PDP.
“Not voting would ensure that more of our people in Kaduna State get sacked with impunity, or forcefully retired without them getting their benefits,"he said.
According to him, not voting might ensure that labour leaders who decide to legally protect the interest of their members when they would be sacked again, would be hounded and declared wanted like criminals.
"Not voting might ensure the continuation of school fees increment in Kaduna's tertiary institutions without regard to the common man.
"Abstaining from voting would continue to see our traditional institutions bastardised without recourse to what the people genuinely desire.
"We would continue to witness more demolitions of houses and shops that the common man is using for sustenance; continue to see the forceful seizure of people's land and continue to witness the most insecure environment.
"Not going out to vote for the PDP would ensure the continuation of these and many more," Ashiru explained.
The gubernatorial candidate congratulated the people of Kaduna State, saying that they did very well when they voted for the PDP on February 25 and in the process clinched the three senatorial seats in the State, and ten out of the 16 House of Representative seats.
"With us all strategically closing ranks and putting the result of the past election behind us, we will emerge with enough votes to ensure that no other Government bring any hardship to the residents of the state,”he said.
He urged potential voters to be extra vigilant and reject being induced in any way so as not to compromise their today for the tomorrow that holds so much potential. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
