The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has commended the people of the state over the peaceful conduct of the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.
The Kaduna APC campaign council said the votes that emanated from the state contributed to the “triumph of the APC in the presidential election”, urging the people to repeat the same in the March 11 governorship election in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Director, Strategic Communication, Kaduna State APC Campaign Council, Ibraheem Musa.
Musa stated: “The APC has won a great national victory, despite the obstacles placed in its path by strange decisions that were designed to stir mass anger.
“In these challenging times, we have had reversals that will be democratically corrected on 11 March 2023.
”As democrats, we are not bellyaching over the setbacks our party and its candidates experienced in several constituencies in our state, and we expect every political party to emulate this and respect the choice of the people, not only when it favours their partisan interest.

“The Kaduna State APC Council is pressing forward with its engagements with the people for the elections for the state governorship and the state legislature, scheduled for 11 March 2023.
”This is anchored on a record of competent governance, promotion of public welfare and the concrete achievements the APC has recorded in Kaduna State since 2015.
“Since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) gave the go-ahead for campaigns to commence in October 2022, our engagements have been civil, devoid of abusive language and without rancour, in line the Electoral Act, 2022.”
He added that the council is looking forward to the forthcoming governorship election in Kaduna State, noting that the APC gubernatorial candidate, Sen. Uba Sani, has reiterated his commitment to the development of the state.
“In all these engagements, our Senator Uba Sani has presented the APC manifesto, explained what an APC government will continue to do for the progressive advancement of our people and canvassed for the people’s support to actualise it.
“As we salute the people who voted for us, we are further resolved to sustain the current developmental strides that the almost eight years of Malam Nasir El Rufai administration has bequeathed to Kaduna state, by campaigning harder, and deepening our push for the vote of our people.
“The real battle for the future of Kaduna State will be on 11 March 2023 when Senator Uba Sani whose record of service is unparalleled, and our 34 state assembly candidates will be on the ballot.
“We are counting on the people of Kaduna state to come out en masse and vote peacefully, as well as overwhelmingly for the candidates of continuity,” Musa stated.
