Urges residents to stay away from APC
No fewer than seven governorship candidates in Kaduna State have endorsed the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Isa Ashiru, as the consensus candidate ahead of Saturdays March 11 governorship election in the State.
Under the platform of the Kaduna State Rescue and Rebuild Gubernatorial candidates Forum, they said the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) was a mere ploy to divide the State along religious lines.
The Forum urged the people of the State to stay away from the APC, who it accused of inflicting hardship on them had over the past eight years, and urged them to come out en-masse and cast their votes for the PDP candidate during the Saturday election.
The nine parties comprise the Young Progressives Party, AA, APM, APP, APGA, and NRM, as well as the leadership of the Accord Party, ADP and ZLP.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna yesterday, the Chairman of the Forum, who is also the Governorship candidate of the YPP, Ambassador Sani Yaya, said they decided to endorse the PDP candidate because he remains the best man for the job.
Yaya noted that, unlike the APC that were out to manipulate the people through the Muslim-Muslim ticket, the PDP candidate was out to unite a fractured State.
