We’ll Deliver S-Kaduna – APC Leaders Assure Osinbajo

Leaders of All Progressives Congress (APC) from Southern Kaduna have assured Vice President Yemi Osinbajo that the area will deliver over 90 per cent votes to the governing party in this year’s general elections.

Rising from a closed door meeting with the Vice President in Abuja on Tuesday, the delegation, led by Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Mr Barnabas Bala Bantex, acknowledged the Federal Government’s developmental efforts in the last three and a half years.

The Deputy Governor said the area noted the efforts “particularly as it affects the poor people who are 80 per cent voter-based and to assure the vice president that because of the much work that has been done; the next election is as good as delivered.

“We are here to say that by over 90 per cent, we will deliver the president and vice president in the next election as well as the governor and his deputy among others including myself the senatorial candidate for the zone.”

He said Vice President Osinbajo has warmed himself into the hearts of many Nigerians through various grassroots programmes he is currently championing for the overall good of the ordinary people.

Bantex, who is the APC candidate for Southern Kaduna Senatorial district, said part of their reason for visiting the Vice President was to officially invite him to the zone.

“We have also come to request kindly to be part of these efforts; he has endeared himself to Nigerians through so many programmes that have led him through the poor people of this country; the creeks; the roads; the markets; the farmers and so on.

“So I want him to come to the zone to flag off our door to door campaign and hopefully carry out one of these programmes within the zone,’’ he said.

Among notable member of the delegation was Dr Hadiza Balarabe, running mate to Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna in the March 2, 2019 gubernatorial election. Others on the entourage include members of the Kaduna State Assembly, party leaders and candidates for various elective positions in the State.  – NAN
