How I will unseat ruling party as PDP Kaduna chair – 36-yr-old Auta

A 36-year-old politician, Edward Auta, has declared his intention to run for the office of the Kaduna State chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

He however vowed to unseat the ruling party, which he said has led the people of the state with impunity in the past eight years.

Auta, a former Director of Media Relations to the 2023 Kaduna State PDP Gubernatorial Candidate, disclosed his interest at a press briefing with newsmen in Kaduna.

He said he was going to rejig the party and lead a robust opposition in the state.

“Given the opportunity, I will lead a robust opposition in Kaduna state that will unseat this inept clueless Government come 2027.

“I hope the leaders of the party and the generality of our party members, will look at my capacity, experience, and the love I have for this party and give me support so that we can return this party to power,” he said.

He explained that some of them between 2019 and 2023 were compelled to go back to the trenches and work in the best interest of the party and to join forces to see how they could salvage the party, ‘but in a gestapo manner as I always describe it, the ruling party colluded with some corrupt officials to thwart the will of the electoral umpire.’

According to him, the people of Kaduna need a voice that can hold the government accountable on their behalf and expose the ills of the government, so that it can take action.
