Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU) has commended the emergence of four candidates from Southern Kaduna contesting the 2023 general elections on different political platforms, after failing to obtain the tickets of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Acting President of SOKAPU, Awemi Maisamari, stated at the weekend that it has become necessary for the union to state its position on the increased interest of Southern Kaduna sons in the governorship.
Maisamari listed the candidates as Timothy Adamu of the Action Alliance (AA), Rev. Andrew Duya of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sen. Caleb Zagi of African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Jonathan Asake of the Labour Party (LP).
He said: “SOKAPU wishes to congratulate these courageous individuals who secured the nomination of their parties after no candidate of Southern Kaduna extraction was able to secure the nomination of any of the two major parties in the country, the APC and PDP.”
“We believe that Southern Kaduna under SOKAPU should be unanimous now and going forward in making a very strong case for gubernatorial power shift or rotation in Kaduna.”
