Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Chikun and Kaduna South LGAs have responded positively to the rally for candidates of the party in all positions in the forthcoming general elections.
The rally organised by MEEMZ Group Advocacy For Good Governance and Democracy, kicked off from Refinery Junction in a slow procession, with an open truck mounted with public address system and a DJ, leading the convoy.

Addressing women at the gathering at Sabon Tasha Primary School, Sabon Tasha Women Leader, introduced the PDP candidate for Kaduna State House of Assembly.
Coordinator of MEEMZ Group, Ochanya Esther Odeh said that they should all be united and chase poverty out of Kaduna State and Nigeria.

He said that PDP is the only party that remembers the poor masses.
Chawazah explained that during PDP led government, food was in abundance, people could afford healthcare and transport.
“Under this government, people are hungry, people are tired of burning corpses. If you want to go to Kakuri or Maraban Rico, you will be calculating where to get transport,” he said.

“The way you see me now is how I will be if I am voted into office, I remain the same, I won’t change,” he stressed.
