The people of Southern Kaduna have been advised to support and vote only for the presidential candidate that has shown commitment and willingness to be inclusive and address their interests.
Addressing newsmen in Kaduna on Thursday, the President Southern Kaduna Peoples Union, Awemi Dio Maisamari, at a program organised in collaboration with the Southern Kaduna leadership Council said, “We, as Leaders of Southern Kadunas are advising our people to vote for the party that has shown us inclusiveness, and the party that has the inclination, desire and potential to concretely address our cares and concerns.”
He added, “We have examined the balance of forces on the ground in terms of structures, spread, the capacity of the party and candidates to win the presidential election, hold and use the power to include the Southern Kaduna people in government.”
“Nevertheless, given the strength of the emotions arising from the oppression our people have suffered over the past 8 years, there is the tendency to align with the Labour Party,” he noted.
He stated that the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU), in collaboration with the Southern Kaduna Leadership Council (SKLC) have examined the situation on the ground and come to the conclusion that the presidential candidates of PDP and LP have shown enough concern over their problems and concerns.
“This election is fundamental to the Southern Kaduna people especially as in the past eight years our people have suffered untold deprivations and dehumanization from the exclusiveness and discriminatory practices of the present party and government in power,” he explained.
From the foregoing, he said that the decision of Southern Kaduna people on the choice of Presidential Candidate to support in the 2023 general election should be guided by their historical experiences over the past twenty-five years
