Vice President, Namadi Sambo has predicted a resounding victory for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kaduna State, saying that the state is the home of the party.
Sambo spoke during a fund raising dinner in support of the party’s governorship candidate, Mukhtar Yero and his running mate, Nuhu Bajoga, at the Hotel 17 in Kaduna, weekend.
This was contained in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Umar Sani, yesterday.
The statement read: “Kaduna State is a stronghold of the PDP and we have the objective of surpassing our previous records of performance.
“I have no doubt in our ability to meet our expectations in view of the wide acceptability of the party and possible indications that greater victories await our great party, the PDP. We have always been a popular pillar of the party and we shall prove our mettle.
‘’Since the inception of this democracy, the successive administrations in the state are a continuation and consolidation of one another and that is why the state enjoys maximum benefits of good governance.
“Succinctly put, PDP is Nigeria and Nigeria is PDP. If you go to every nook and cranny and in even the remotest part of Nigeria, PDP has a system in place. You can’t beat the reach!”
Also speaking on the occasion, the former Governor of the state and the party’s senatorial candidate for Kaduna Zone I, Senator Ahmed Makarfi urged members to donate generously to ensure victory for all the party’s candidates.
Earlier in his remarks, the state Governor and governorship candidate of the PDP, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, said that all funds realised at the dinner would be utilised for not only the governorship campaign, but for all the PDP candidates to ensure victory at all levels in the state.
