Kaduna State Governorship Candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Uba Sani has welcomed 12,817 decampees into the party from the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Giwa Local Government area of the state.
Senator Sani expressed delight that, membership of the PDP is depleting daily in Kaduna state ahead of the 2023 elections and completely non existent in Giwa local government.
While receiving the 12,817 decampees which include a former commissioner, woman and youth leaders in Giwa yesterday, Sani assured the decampees that they have equal status and rights like every member of the ruling party.
“In APC, there is no discrimination. Those that joined today are equal in status as those who joined when the party was formed. We are a one and united family,” he added.
He advised the people of Giwa to vote for all APC candidates in the 2023 elections.
“You should vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the presidential election, vote for Muhammad Sani Abdullahi as senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district and vote for Jibrin Zubairu as member representing Giwa/Birnin Gwari federal constituency. You should vote for me during the governorship election and elect Umar Auwal Bijimi and Adamu Mohammed Shika to represent Birnin Gwari West and East respectively at the state House of Assembly,” he said.
The senator promised to be fair to all, develop all parts of Kaduna state and consolidate on the achievements of the Malam Nasir El Rufai administration.
“The APC candidates that will represent you at the state and National Assembly are very vocal and eloquent people, who will not be bench warmers at the legislative chambers,” he said.
He challenged the gubernatorial candidates of PDP and New Nigerian People’s Party(NNPP) to produce evidence of bills that they have sponsored while they were at the National Assembly.
Speaking at the occasion, the APC state Chairman, Air Commodore Emmanuel Jekada (rtd) praised the decampees for realising that the ruling party is the winning party which has brought dividends of democracy to the people of Kaduna state.
Alhaji Lawal Samaila Yakawada advised the people of Giwa local government to campaign devoid of political thuggery and abusive language.
Lawal Yakawada who is a former Secretary to Kaduna State Government, also said APC will be victorious in the coming election.
