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 in the State.

The Deputy Governor who made the appeal ahead of the next Saturday polls, during the APC campaign rallies in Lere and Soba Local Government at the weekend, expressed confidence that the Party will emerge victorious, hence the party must avoid any form of violence that may disrupt the election process.

At the Township Stadium in Saminaka, headquarters of Lere Local Government Area, the Deputy Governor charged the APC members to come out en masse and also mobilise others to vote, so that the ruling party can 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 fulfil their promise by coming out early and cast their vote for the ruling party Chairmanship Candidate, Ja’afaru Ahmed and the 11 Councilorship candidates.

She told 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, 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 Councilorship 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.
