Kaduna: Zamfara PDP gov aspirant, supporters back El-Rufai

JANUARY 15, 2015 BY GODWIN ISENYO, KADUNA

A Zamfara State State’s Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant, Alhaji Sagir Hamidu, with some of his supporters visited the campaign office of former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Thursday in Kaduna.

El-Rufai is the Kaduna State All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for the February poll in the state.

But Hamidu, in what appeared to be demonstrating lack of confidence in the leadership of his party, told journalists that the PDP was full of injustice and impunity.

He added that he was short-changed in the party’s primaries in favour of former Governor of the state (Zamfara), Alhaji Mahmud Shinkafi.

Although, Hamidu urged his teeming supporters in Zamfara to await his next move, he noted that his soliarity visit to El-Rufai, who he simply described “as my boss,” did not constitute an anti-party activity.

He explained that though he remained a card carrying member of the ruling party, he had no reason to abandon El-Rufai because “he is an age-long friend and brother, which political differences cannot separate.”

He said, “From what I have seen so far, there is injustice in Zamfara PDP. I felt short-changed at the govenorship primary. But I have taken it in good faith and at the appropriate time, the truth will prevail because politics is dynamic. There is a great injustice in Zamfara PDP.

“I participated in Zamfara PDP governorship primary, but things did not go my way as expected. I cannot tell you whether I will defect to APC or not, but the people will hear from me.

“This is democracy; I don’t think anybody will misunderstand my visit as an anti- party activity. Democracy is about interaction, we interact for understanding in order to deepen democracy, and bridge political differences.

“As you might have known, Mallam El-Rufai has been my boss and once a boss, you are always a boss. I was supposed to visit him during the new year but I was not able to see him. I have actually come to wish him well in his governorship ambition. I have come to pay him the usual respect.”

Thank goodness you said average, But believe you me, For these states I mentioned, PDP will sweep the polls, PDP is strong in those states. And mind you, You can't just say an average northerner hates PDP, because you'll be confirming the notion that APC is a Northern party; Which is not true. There are more northerners in PDP than you think. In fact, Most of the movers and shakers in PDP from it's inception are northerners.

I laugh at you for your ignorance.
Only the core Muslim sharia north will vote Buhari, Adamawa state is still under PDP and will make everything possible to vote GEJ.
Kaduna state will vote GEJ because of Sambo and Kogi, Benue, Taraba,Bauchi,Plateau,Nasarawa will Vote GEJ.
Stop spewing rubbish.
