- From Saxone Akhaine, Kaduna

PEOPLES Democratic Party ( PDP) governorsh­ip aspirant in Kaduna State, Senator Shehu Sani, has promised to rescue Kaduna residents from the grip of All Progressiv­es Congress ( APC) in the state and end insecurity.

Addressing the press at the Nigeria Union of Journalist­s ( NUJ) secretaria­t in the state, yesterday, Sani lamented that terrorists have taken over the state, determinin­g who should live or die.

The eighth National Assembly senator said Governor Nasir el- Rufai’s administra­tion has proved incapable of ending insecurity in the state because of lack of political will.

“Why is it that in most of the North West states, it is only Kaduna that there are killings by bandits everyday and crisis in most parts of the state? Go to Jigawa, Kano, Gombe and Bauchi, there are no banditry and killings.

“But, here in Kaduna, there are killings every day, crisis in Southern Kaduna, and the present government is presiding over a divided state as if we are under apartheid regime. They are not uniting the people. The people should not allow this to continue in 2023,” Sani added.

The civil rights activist unveiled his agenda for the state. “One thing is paramount – unity, which is necessary for developmen­t and sustenance of democracy. That I will promote in Kaduna.”
