The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has issued an ultimatum to Governor Uba Sani, urging him to announce a date for the council elections.
The party emphasizes that appointing transition committee chairmen to administer the councils is not in line with Nigeria’s constitution.
“We are battle-ready for the Local government elections and there’s no room for Caretakers in the Constitution of Nigeria.
We therefore call on the APC Government to sit up and announce a program for elections and we’ll all participate,” says Hon. Hassan Hyat, the state Party Chairman.
In addition, the PDP demands that the electoral body in the state, KADSIECOM, demonstrate its independence from the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) during the council polls across the 23 Local Government Areas.
“If the ruling party beats us through fair play, we’ll concede. But if we beat them through fair play, they should concede as well. There is no more room for manipulation,” Hyat firmly asserts.
