The newly inaugurated Political Committee established by the Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), harps on inclusiveness and is calling on the people to embrace unity of purpose in pursuing the aspiration of developing the Zone across ethnic, political and religious divides in 2023 and beyond.
In a press statement issued by the Committee on Monday, the body traced its emergence after wide consultations that led to the selection of “eminent experienced persons representing cross-sections of Southern Kaduna, in line with democratic decision-making tradition common to Southern Kaduna for the purpose of arriving at a consensus”.
“Given the challenges that have over the years faced Southern Kaduna in the neglect it has suffered culminating in the current threat to its existence, the Committee recognizes the immediate need for restoring the self-worth of the people and especially in the youth for engendering unity of purpose along with need to promote political awareness in Southern Kaduna”.
Calling on Southern Kaduna people to actively participate in politics, the Committee advised the people not to be left behind in “active participation in political activities towards good quality representation and will take immediate and necessary steps to achieve that by embarking on public education and sensitization in preparation for collaboration with stakeholders within and outside Kaduna State.
“The Committee encourages sons and daughters of Southern Kaduna who are interested and able, to feel free to join political parties of their choice and to enter the race for election or appointment into political offices”, the committee stated in its press statement.
