People’s Democratic Party.(PDP) gubernatorial flag bearer for Kaduna State in 2019 General elections Honourable Isa Mohammed Ashiru Kudan on Tuesday, joined the race to occupy the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House for 2023.
Speaking at the Kaduna State PDP Secretariat, Ashiru said, “three years after that particular attempt, Kaduna State under the All Progressives Congress (APC) has continued to experience severe setbacks.
“We are all victims of various forms of insecurity like kidnapping, banditry and violent conflicts which have become most prevalent in the state; in addition to increasing poverty, unemployment and disharmony among our people.
“The task before us therefore, is to salvage our dear Kaduna State, reunite the people and move the state forward. We are going to attach priority to security, education, agriculture, health as well as women and youth empowerment, information technology, rural development and inclusiveness in governance, among others.
“I believe that if given the ticket, we would all work together to win the gubernatorial election come February, 2023 so that the PDP government can rescue the state from the current frightening situation. We have done it before and we will do it again,” he added.
On local government council elections, Ashiru said, “with the wonderful performance of the PDP during the 2021 local government elections in Kaduna State and the encouraging manner in which people have been massively joining the party, I can confidently say that the present State Executive Committee under Honorable Felix Hassan Hyet has been steering the ship of our party in the right direction.”
