BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – The Youths of Kaduna State on the aegis of Kaduna Youth Project (KYP) rose from its State Executive meeting on Saturday endorsing the candidature of Hon Isah Ashiru as the governorship flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the state for the 2019 elections.
A statement by the Forum’s Coordinator, Mallam Sadiq Aboi and Publicity Secretary of the Youth group, Mr. Magaji B. Garba said the decision ewas arrived at by the Forum comprising 23 Local Government Coordinators, 255 Wards Coordinators and the media team.
The Kaduna Youths Project explained that a vote for Hon Ashiru would translate to a vote for the progress, unity and restoration of the lost glory of Kaduna State which was enjoyed in the past.
The statement further states; “The Youths are calling on the entire People of Kaduna State irrespective of political affiliations to ensure that they get their Permanent Voters Card (PVC) ready to galvanise support and vote for Rt. Hon Isah Mohammed Ashiru, who is the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the coming 2019 gubernatorial election in Kaduna State.
“As a vote for Hon Ashiru is a vote for the progress, unity and restoration of the lost glory of Kaduna State which was enjoyed in the past. This is owing to the TOTAL FAILURE of the present administration in Kaduna State led by Mallam Nasiru el-Rufai of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), and it’s anti people’s policies.
“Today under Governor Nasiru el-Rufai’s misrule, all the gains achieved by the previous administrations have been reversed. A lot of jobs are being lost on a regular bases, complete disregard of our elder statesmen and subjection of our traditional heads to ridicule, frequent kidnappings & persistent bloodletting, hunger and starvation ravaging the state, the indigenes of the state have lost all sense of belonging.
“We equally urge all well-meaning stakeholders in the state, most importantly the participants of the concluded PDP gubernatorial primaries to set aside any form of disagreements and to support a common course for unity and progress.”
The leadership of KYP called on all teaming youths irrespective of religion, ethnic background or political affiliation to put Kaduna State first by electing leaders who will unite rather than promote bad behavior as that will guarantee freedom, security, well-being and the socio-economic progress of the state.
The Youth group also called on the Youths of Kaduna State to shun all forms of violence, drug abuse and thuggery during and after the 2019 general elections in the state and the country at large and not to be allowed to be used by selfish and desperate politicians for personal gains.
