Kaduna gov’ship: PDP asks other opposition parties to join forces

The Kaduna State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Felix Hassan Hyat, has called on residents and other opposition parties to join forces with it (PDP) to dislodge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

Addressing a press conference yesterday in Kaduna, Hyat said the outcomes of last Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections were an indication that the people of Kaduna State had rejected the APC and resolved to pitch their tent with the PDP.

He said, “We appreciate the large turnout of voters in our state, especially those who voted in favour of our presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and for voting our three senatorial candidates into power as the party emerged victorious with 10 House of Representatives in the state.

“As we approach March 11, to elect our governors and House of Assembly members, I want to appeal to the good people of Kaduna State to come out in their numbers and say goodbye to the retrogressive regime we have suffered in the past eight years and confine it to the dustbin of history.

“I want to call on other parties that participated in the last elections to join hands with the PDP for the sake of Kaduna State and its people.

“I assure them that the PDP is open to them all for the sake of Kaduna State and its well-being, and we will support the presidential candidate and the leadership of the party at the highest level in any decision it will take to challenge this rape on democracy.”
