PDP risks disqualification from guber polls; vote wisely, Kaduna NNPP candidate advises
Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, the governorship candidate of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP) in Kaduna State, has enjoined residents to avoid “political miscarriage” in the March 11 elections.
Mr Hunkuyi addressed the press on Friday in Kaduna to say the choice of the electorate in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections would determine safe delivery of the people.
“The decision of the people on the gubernatorial election day can be a miscarriage or safe delivery point for the people, depending on how they handle it.”
He added that issues such as the pre-election matters pending in court had the capacity to declare the PDP as a non-entity in the forthcoming gubernatorial election.
The guber hopeful also said that there would be post election matters, which according to him, the APC would surely pursue in the event of a PDP victory. He said this was another serious landmine that could hurt the choice of Kaduna voters.
Mr Hunkuyi called for compromise among opposition parties in the state, stating that unity was possible within 24 hours, to chase out the ruling party from governance.
“Like Napoleon who conquered the world within 24 hours, I want to assure you that the unity of opposition parties in the state is even possible within 24 hours in order to chase out the APC government from Kaduna State Government House,” he said.
Mr Hunkuyi said it was out of sincere mind that he was contesting the governorship election in Kaduna State with the aim of addressing several abnormalities in the state.
“It is in view of these abnormalities and pains of the people that I refused to retire from politics since 2019. I hope we will win the election and address all these challenges,” he said.
While reiterating his believe in the rule of law, he said he had fate in the people of Kaduna State to choose the right candidate during the election
Mr Hunkuyi had promised during campaigns to provide free education from primary to secondary schools and review downward school fees in state-owned tertiary institutions.
He had also promised to recall sacked teachers and disengaged traditional rulers, and prioritise security, among others.
