In a press statement issued in Kaduna on Monday, 6th March 2023, which was signed by the Chairman Rescue and Rebuilding Gubernatorial Candidates Forum led by Ambassador Sanin Yaya, the former governorship candidate of YPP, the group withdrew their candidacy and endorsed the PDP guber candidate, Rt. Hon. Ashiru Muhammadu Kudan and his running mate, Dr. John Ayuba.
“Myself, Amb. Sanni Yaya the gubernatorial candidate of the Young Progressives Party(YPP) and five(5) other gubernatorial candidates of AA, APM, APP, APGA, and NRM as well as the leadership of AP, ADP, and ZLP, have today the 6th of March, 2023 endorsed His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Isa Ashiru Kudan (Sarkin Bai Zazzau) and His Excellency, Dr. John Ayuba as our consensus candidates,” Yaya said.
The group urged the good people of Kaduna state to come out in mass on the 11th of March, 2023 to vote for Ashiru/Ayuba for a better Kaduna state.
The group went further saying, we took this decision after consultation with our party members as well as the good people of Kaduna state.
This decision is bone out of our genuine desire to have one indivisible state irrespective of tribal or religious differences, and we are confident that Isa Ashiru Kudan is the only candidate that will unify the state.
These can be seen from the manner of his campaign which is aimed at building Kaduna state, and as well from the selection of his running mate which has given fair representation to both Christians and Muslims who are the two major stakeholders in the state.
As some desperate politicians have turned the political space into a hub of religious sentiments, Isah Ashiru chose to stand by an issues-based campaign.
I want to use this opportunity to remind the good people of Kaduna state of the hardship and pain inflicted on them by this APC administration, from unjustified high rate of taxes torateshoritative leadership, and ego. From the increase of school fees in tertiary institutions to the unlawful disengagement of teachers, and local government staff, and the removal of traditional institutions.
It is on these grounds that we call on our people to stay away from the APC candidate who is only a puppet to his paymaster who will continue with their anti-masses policy in the state.
