Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna has assured the leaders of opposition parties who defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) that they will enjoy the same rights and privileges as every other party member.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The governor who addressed a mammoth crowd of party supporters at Murtala Square at the mega rally held on Saturday to receive the defectors, said that there was no difference between a party member who joined today and the ones who have been in APC ten years ago.
“Someone who joins APC today and the one who has been a foundation member 10 years ago, they are of the same status. They will enjoy the same rights and privileges,” the governor said.
Governor Sani told the decampees to notify their supporters of the readiness of APC to accept them into the party as their doors are still open to accept more defectors.
According to him, the popularity and acceptability of APC is because of its just leadership at both the state and federal levels.
He added that the party has come to stay in Kaduna State, the entire north, and Nigeria as a whole.
“In the 2027 election, the electorate will vote for APC in all the elections, from top to bottom. At the top, our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be elected. At the state level, the party will be voted for at the gubernatorial, national, and state assembly elections, by the grace of God,’’ he said.
The Governor promised that projects would be executed in all the nooks and crannies of Kaduna State, irrespective of party affiliations and ethno-religious considerations.
“Politics is different from governance. We will be fair to all, whether or not they voted for us, because that is the oath of office that were swore to uphold as leaders,’’ he said.
Governor Sani who argued that leaders are not infallible and are bound to make mistakes like anyone, pleaded with the leaders to always point out their mistakes to correct them.
He reminded the crowd that leaders will be held accountable in the hereafter regarding how they led the people whom God had entrusted to them.
Prominent amongst those who decamped to APC are, a former governor of Kaduna State, Ramalan Yero; Senator Shehu Sani; Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, the gubernatorial candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the last election and Sani Shaaban, a former gubernatorial candidate of Action Democratic Party (ADP).
Others are Senator Danjuma Laah who represented Kaduna senatorial district at the upper legislative chamber on the platform of PDP; Abubakar Mustapha, a former National Organising Secretary of the PDP, and Sule Buba, former Nigeria’s envoy to South Korea.
