Kaduna: PDP Presses Governor Sani to Schedule Council Elections

The Kaduna State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Governor Uba Sani to promptly announce a date for council elections.

The party stressed that appointing transition committee chairmen to manage the councils contradicts Nigeria’s constitution.

Felix Hassan Hyat, the PDP State Chairman, stated, “We are battle-ready for the local government elections, and there’s no room for caretakers in the Constitution of Nigeria.” He called on the APC government to establish and announce an election schedule.

Additionally, the PDP demanded that the Kaduna State Independent Electoral Commission (KADSIECOM) demonstrate its independence from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during the council polls across the 23 local government areas.

Hyat said, “If the ruling party beats us through fair play, we’ll concede. But if we beat them through fair play, they should concede as well. There is no more room for manipulation.”
