The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State has expressed dismay over the lopsidedness in appointments made by the administration of Sen. Uba Sani in the state since its inception on 29th May 2023.
It would be recalled that the Kaduna State Governor has recently made fresh appointments into his cabinet.
In a statement made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Wednesday by its State Publicity Secretary, Abraham Alberah Catoh, lamented that the recent publication of the list of fourteen commissioners-designate, in which certain sections are either shortchanged or completely not represented smacks of mischief as well as confirms the unfortunate claims of the immediate past governor of the state, Mal. Nasir Elrufa’i, of a grand plan to shortchange and or exclude a certain section of the people from the governance structure of the state.
Albera explained that what was even more worrisome is the fact that the local governments of origin of the nominees were shrouded in secrecy in a desperate bid to conceal the glaring inequity in the appointments.
” As a people’s party and one that not only believes in the principle of equity, justice, and fairness as a prerequisite for unity, peace, and development but has also demonstrated the same in its 16 years of leadership in the state, we condemned in totality such divisive antics reminiscent of the evil Elrufa’i era and call on the government to withdraw the list and make amends and also to forthwith ensure balance in all appointments and projects across the state in line with our federal character as enshrined in the 1999 constitution (as amended).
” The PDP also wishes to call on the good people of the state to remain calm, hopeful, and steadfast in prayers as the party and its governorship candidate pursue their mandate at the tribunal.
“The party also wishes to reassure the people of the state of its total commitment to restoring an all-inclusive government and governance once the mandate that was freely given to it in the March 18, 2023 governorship polls is restored by the courts.
