Deputy governor confident of APC victory in Kaduna LG polls

The Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, has urged supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to be peaceful during and after the council elections.

The Deputy Governor made the appeal ahead of the next Saturday polls, during the APC campaign rallies in Lere and Soba Local Government at the weekend, expressing confidence that the party will emerge victorious.

At the Township Stadium in Saminaka, headquarters of Lere Local Government Area, the Deputy Governor charged the APC members to come out en mass and also mobilise others to vote, so that, the ruling party could retain the chairmanship seat and also win all the 11 councilorship seats in the council.

Balarabe while reacting to the chant by the Monmouth crowd that, APC will win the election, pleaded with the people of the area to fulfill their promise by coming out early and casting their vote for the ruling party Chairmanship Candidate, Jaafaru Ahmed and the 11 Councilorship candidates.

She told the Lere people that, Governor Uba Sani is happy with the people of the area, because of their peaceful coexistence, assuring that, the government will continue the development projects in the Local Government as long as the people remain peaceful and law-abiding.

Besides, in Soba, where Muhammad Lawal Shehu, the former Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Governor Uba Sani is the APC Chairmanship Candidate, the Deputy Governor said, Soba is originally an APC Local Government, as such, the mandate must be reclaimed through the ballot.

She said that from the Saturday Local Government elections, the APC will start reclaiming its mandate, and in 2027, the House of Representatives seat will also be reclaimed. She, however, urged the people to come out and vote for Shehu, popularly known as Molash, as chairman and all the 11 councillorship candidates of the APC.

Speaking on his programmes for the people of Soba Local Government Area, Molash said he would be addressing the infrastructural deficit the Local Government has been facing under the administration of PDP Chairman.

Noting that agriculture is the mainstay of Soba Local Government, Molash said he has marshaled out concrete modern agricultural projects in his blueprint, which he said will boost agriculture and the economy of the area.

He also said he will complement the efforts of the Governor Uba Sani-led government, which is reconstructing and remodelling general hospitals across the state, by renovating and improving the existing Primary Health Centres (PHCs)..

Molash expressed optimism that the APC will win the Saturday election from the chairmanship seat to the chairmanship seats in all the 11 wards that make up Soba Local Government Area.
