Ahead of next Saturday’s local government elections into the 23 councils of Kaduna State, the deputy governor, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, has told members and supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to be peaceful during and after the poll.
The deputy governor who made the appeal during the APC campaign rallies in Lere and Soba Local Government at the weekend, expressed confidence that the party will emerge victorious in the polls, hence members must avoid any form of violence that may disrupt the election process.
At the Township Stadium in Saminaka, headquarters of Lere Local Government Area, the deputy governor charged the APC members to come out en masse and also mobilise others to vote, so that the ruling party can retain the chairmanship seat and also win all the 11 seats in the council.
She told Lere people that Governor Uba Sani is happy with the people of the area, because of their peaceful coexistence, assuring that, the government will continue the development projects in the local government as long as the people remain peaceful and law abiding.
In Soba, the deputy governor said, Soba is originally an APC local government, as such, the mandate must be reclaimed through the ballot.
She said, from the Saturday local government elections, the APC will start reclaiming its mandate and in 2027, the House of Representatives seat will also be reclaimed.
She however urged the people to come out and vote for Shehu, popularly known as Molash as chairman and all the 11 councilorship candidates of the APC.
