Youths from Southern Kaduna on Friday said they would do everything constitutionally possible to unseat the state governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, in the 2019 governorship election in the state.

To this end, the youths, under the aegis of the Southern Kaduna Youth For Progress and Development, vowed to deliver bloc votes for the candidature of Alhaji Isa Ashiru of the Peoples Democratic Party and his running mate, Sunday Katung.

Addressing a press conference at the Nigeria Union of Journalists’ Secretariat in Kaduna, the state capital, the Chairman of the group, Mr. Danjuma Sarki, said the group would deliver bloc votes in 11 local government areas in the state, which include eight from the Southern Kaduna Senatorial Zone; two from Kaduna Central; and one from Kaduna North.

“Coming at a time when our dear state is in dire need of unity, stability and purposeful leadership, an Ashiru/Katung ticket ushers in a new dawn and brings hope to the electorate,” he said.

Nice one from the southern kaduna youths.
