Kaduna State chairmanship aspirant for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Danjuma Bello Sarki, has vowed to lead the party to victory in 2027 if elected to lead the party in the state.
Sarki, the former Youth Leader of the PDP in Kaduna State, said his aspiration was the choice of the people and party members, adding that he would not disappoint them if voted to lead the party.
He made the pledge at the flag-off of his campaign at the party’s office in Zonkwa, the headquarters of Zango Kataf Local Government Area, and in Kafanchan, the headquarters of Jema’a Local Government Area.
“I have obeyed your call to come and lead the party because you believe in my capability, vibrancy, connections, and wisdom to revamp the party.
“If I emerge as the state party chairman, I have a new vision to unite the party and make it formidable ahead of any general elections in the state,” Sarki said.
“I want to assure the party’s members that my chairmanship will bring about unity and a breadth of fresh ideas that will block all loopholes for rigging by other political parties.
“The PDP is a democratic party that encourages youths to be active, hence my decision to join the race after due consultation.
“I want to assure you today, from 2015 till date, I have been part of the PDP campaigns, so I know all the loopholes and gaps. If I am elected to steer the affairs of the party, nobody, not even the security forces, can rig our elections anywhere anymore.
“I am beating my chest today, I will lead you to victory come 2027,” Sarki stated.
He alleged that the bad governance of the APC administration since 2015 has subjected the people to abject poverty, saying, “Even when I was speaking against the ills of the APC administration, the embezzlement of El-Rufai’s government, some members of the PDP thought I was lying. But today, the Kaduna State House of Assembly report has vindicated me for unravelling the heist, the thievery of the common resources of the Kaduna State citizens.”
“When I look at the report of the State House of Assembly, I feel like crying. If it were even people from Kaduna State who stole this money, maybe I wouldn’t have been so angry.
“For the mere fact that people from other realms who don’t even know you and me were the ones that carted away our resources and invested in other states, I am assuring you, whether this government probes El-Rufai’s administration or not, when we get into power, we’ll dust every file.
“If you look at Kaduna State, you’ll think there’s no governor, there is no sense of governance. In most cases, they try to use the media to create hype,” he said.
Danjuma promised to lead a credible opposition that will hold the government accountable by exposing its ineptitude and showing the world where they are failing.
“We’ll provide an alternative opportunity for people to see that the PDP remains the best party that has the mind of the people of Kaduna State and Nigeria,” he added.
