BY SEGUN ADEBAYO – Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State, including former Vice President Architect Namadi Sambo and former Governors, have vowed to end the eight years rulership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the State come this year’s general elections.

The two ex-Governors, joining forces with others in their boast to legitimately uproot the APC’s administration from the State, are Mohammed Ahmed Makarfi and Ramalan Yero.

“We the former Governors of the State will guide the Governorship candidate of the party when voted accordingly,” Sen Makarfi assured the Stakeholders on behalf of his colleagues.

Similarly, the Forum witnessed goodwill messages from Senators Shehu Sani and Sani Bello (Mubeco) who charged Nigerians and  Kaduna residents to ensure that APC is not availed another opportunity of returning to power both at the state and national levels, warning that the suffering being experienced now will be a child’s play.
