Vote Out APC, End Bad Governance, Impunity in Kaduna, PDP Tells Residents

The  opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State, has asked residents of the state to end bad governance and impunity by voting out the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 11, governorship and state assembly elections.

In a statement yesterday, the party  called on the people to not be discouraged by the  challenges and the outcome of the  February 25, Presidential and National Assembly elections.

In the statement by Reuben Buhari, Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, PDP State Campaign Directorate, the party commended the people of the state for voting massively for the PDP in the Presidential and National Assembly elections.

Buhari said the support for the PDP led to the defeat of the APC in the state during the February 25 polls in which the PDP secured the highest votes in the presidential election in the state as well as won the three senatorial seats and 10 out of the 16 House of Representatives seats.
The statement urged residents to come out enmass on Saturday and repeat the same feat.

Buhari noted that although many people may be demoralised following INEC’s declaration of Bola Tinubu as winner of the presidential election and may not want to vote in the governorship election, he emphasised that refusing to vote on Saturday was not the best option.

“If our dream is to have a secure, prosperous Kaduna State, then, we owe it a duty to ourselves and our families to come out and vote for the PDP on Saturday,” the statement said. Not going voting would ensure that more of our people in Kaduna State get sacked with impunity, or forcefully retired without getting their benefits.

“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; we will continue to see the forceful seizure of people’s land,” he said.
