They passed a vote of confidence in President Tinubu and Governor Sani for their commitment to the return of peace and the infrastructure development of the southern part of the state.
THE WHISTLER online reports that Zango-Kataf LGA in Southern Kaduna is the stronghold of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party since 1999 to 2023.
In the 2023 presidential election, the Peoples Democratic Party triumphed when the party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar, polled 445,671 votes representing 40% to defeat APC candidate, Bola Tinubu with 321,691 votes representing 29.16% in the entire state.
Also, in the governorship elections in the state, APC’s Uba Sani scored 730,002 votes to defeat Ashiru Isah Kudan of the PDP with 719,196 while maintaining it’s stronghold of Southern Kaduna.
In a communiqué issued to newsmen in Kaduna on Saturday by Francis Danladi Kozah and Jerry Irimiya Mark, Chairman and Co-chairman of the APC stakeholders, and read by the Council Chairman, Joseph Bege Gaiya, the stakeholders lauded Tinubu and Sani for their commitments to peace and security in the region.
According to the stakeholders, the establishment of a Military 2nd National Mission Brigade Base in the local government has proven to be a pivotal move in sustaining peace in the area.
