The Peoples’ Democratic Party(PDP), has described the recent appointment of Sole Administrators in four(4) Local Government Areas of Jaba, Kauru ,Kajuru and Chikun as illegal and a mockery of our democracy.
“It is sickening to note that the entire electoral process was subverted and the electorates disenfranchised”.
The party who was reacting in a statement signed and issued to Journalists through its State publicity Secretary Abraham Albera Kato said,” The party wondered how an appointed Sole Administrator can preside over a council with elected Councillors from different political parties. This is the highest level of mal administration of our State by an “accidental public servant”.
Further more, the electorates find it very nauseating that the All Progressives Congress (APC), a party that prides itself as a means to “Making Kaduna Great Again” would continue administering the State as if we are under a military rule,where marshal law is the order of the day.
“Kaduna State has been militarised ,administratively !
“More over, it is an unconcealed bias that, these Sole Administrators are appointed in the PDP strong holds, where the PDP clearly won the elections ,before the sudden abduction of the Returning Officers .
“The party expressed disappointment that elections were not conducted at all in Kaura Local Government, the people were completely disenfranchised, with no hope of elections in sight . This is obnoxious!
The PDP called on the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIECOM) to hasten its electoral process so as to give the electorates in Kaura Local Government Area the required opportunity to exercise their franchise.
“We also call on our supporters to remain calm in all the affected areas ,as we are doing every thing, humanly and constitutionally possible, to nip in the bud these calculated attempt by the El-Rufai administration to steal the people’s mandates.
The PDP also called on the State Local Government Electoral Tribunal to speed up their process of dispensing justice to whom it’s due and to further justify the confidence reposed on them by the Nigerian people ,ably represented by the members of the National Assembly,with the recent passage into law of the States Judicial Autonomy bill.
Finally ,we urge all our supporters to rally round the Peoples’ Democratic Party and continue to support us in subsequent elections.
