Kaduna supporters dump Jonathan, merge Yero with Buhari posters

Mar 2, 2015



Supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kaduna State have dumped President Goodluck Jonathan and merged the party’s governorship candidate, Governor Mukhtar Yero’s posters with All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, in the state.

National Mirror gathered that Yero’s supporters have commenced secret discussion with APC chieftains in the state with a promise to deliver their votes to Buhari in the March 28 presidential poll, while APC supporters should vote for PDP guber candidate, Yero.

However, APC governorship candidate in the state, Nasir el-Rufai, has warned Yero to stay away from Buhari’s posters, saying: “Conscious of their unpopularity, the PDP is now displaying posters of Yero that feature APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. It is an admission that PDP’s presidential candidate is not sellable to the electorate, and also demonstrates PDP’s affinity for deception. In the said posters being paraded in the said axis, Yero is paired with Buhari while Mallam el- Rufai is axed with red ink.”

A statement signed by el-Rufai’s campaign spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, said the security agents last Friday night in Zaria and Sabon Gari local government areas, supervised and protected PDP hoodlums as they destroyed billboards and posters of el-Rufai.

“They destroyed all visible campaign materials and replaced them with Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, the incumbent governor. This act of arson comes ahead of the governor’s rally on Saturday in the ancient city.”

The statement reads in part: “Zaria axis is an APC stronghold, as demonstrated by the massive rallies the party held in Sabon-Gari and Zaria local governments.

El-Rufai added: “Since the campaign for the 2015 elections started, Yero has been preaching intolerance and indulging in violence. At the launch of his campaign on January 12, he announced that he had powers to stop el-Rufai from entering Kaduna or leaving his house, which he also threatened to demolish. The audio recording of that statement has gone viral.

“Again, the PDP government in Kaduna State and their commissioned campaigners are currently inciting citizens of the state on religious and ethnic lines against the candidature of both Buhari and el-Rufai. They are also engaging in series of mudslinging aimed at branding APC and its candidates as violenceoriented personalities. They are currently circulating leaflets branding Buhari as hater of Christians along with el-Rufai, thus manipulating the citizenry.

“We will continue to play issue-based politics despite all deliberate attempts and mischief to taint our image and popularity before the good people of Kaduna State. Neither the tonnes of illicit money they are spreading to bribe voters nor the violent actions designed to intimidate and frighten citizens, can save PDP from the coming electoral humiliation in Kaduna State.”

El-Rufai added: “The people of Kaduna State are clearly tired of an incompetent, wasteful government that has proved incapable of leading, performing or delivering public services.”

The state’s PDP chairman, A.G. Haruna, and the party’s public relations officer did not answer their calls.

WHERE IS OUR PRESIDENT?

ANSWER:
OUR PRESIDENT IS BUSY SHARING DOLLARS AND BILLIONS OF NAIRA TO PASTORS, IMAMS KINGS, POLITICAL ASSOCIATE, MILITANTS AND OTHERS WHILE THE CHILDREN OF AN AVERAGE NIGERIAN POPULACE ARE BEING SACKED FROM WORK.
HIS WIFE IS BUSY CAMPAIGNING FOR HIM.

I agree with all above: What will happen to all the people being laid off? to their children, wives, family? WHAT

When we raise our voices some people see all these as being an APC or PDP issues or being a politician! They ask if am not being too passionate! NO!!! It is OUR issue as NIGERIANS!
We are meant to question a government that is NOT PERFORMING! And performance is tied to reality of what is happening.

We need to stop looking through our mirror of political and religious biases and see things as they are! Nigeria is in a bad state and Nigerians are suffering! I know how I share the little I have with people who under normal circumstances should be buoyant! All this whilst millions of Naira and dollars from our resources are being shared amongst a few and they tell us ..All is okay!
