PDP Slams El-Rufai, APC, Boasts About 2023 After Victory In Kaduna Bye-Election

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says its victory in
Saturday’s Kaduna bye-election despite the bragging, intimidation
and rigging machinations of the Governor Nasir El-Rufai-led APC
administration, is a further signal that the people of Kaduna state
have since rejected Governor El-Rufai and his APC.

The party made its reaction known in a statement by its National
Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan.

The party said its clean victory in Kaduna, particularly in the
political melting point like Sabon Gari Constituency, is a
foretaste of the crushing defeat that awaits the APC in Kaduna and
other states of the federation in the 2023 general elections.

“The PDP’s resounding victory in the Kaduna election is a
reaffirmation that Kaduna state is home to PDP, in spite of the APC
administration, which is now being shown the way out.

“The outcome of the Saturday’s bye-election also reinforces the
popularity of the PDP as well as our candidate, Alhaji Usman Baba,
while serving as an unmistaken expression of the people’s rejection
of the high-handedness, oppression, executive recklessness and
arrogance, divisiveness, vindictiveness, economic repression,
infrastructural decay and general misrule that have characterised
governance in Kaduna state under the APC.

“Since it is clear that the APC administration in Kaduna state
has nothing to offer the people other than imposing a siege
mentality and arrogant power intoxication, our party counsels the
APC to read the hand writing on the wall on the fate that awaits it
in 2023.

“The PDP congratulates the member-elect, Alhaji Usman Baba, as
well as the people of Kaduna state and urges him to hit the ground
running, in line with the commitment of the PDP to provide the
dividends of democracy, which have eluded the people of Kaduna
State in the last six years of APC’s misrule.
