Ahead of the 2023 governorship in Kastina State, Senator Abubakar Sadiq Yar’Adua, former governorship aspirant under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is presently making consultation.
Speaking to journalists, Yar’Adua, said there was nothing wrong with anyone nursing political ambition, stressing that he is a qualified citizen of the state.
Hear him: “You see, there is nothing wrong with anybody having an ambition. I am a bonafide citizen of Katsina State and Nigeria. So, why shouldn’t I have any aspiration? The people of Katsina know who I am. I am a very straightforward person.
“I am still making consultations, and when it is time, I will come out to state my position. A lot of people have talked to me to go for the race, but I’m still making consultations, because to be a governor of a state, you don’t just wake up and say I want to be a governor.
“You have to make a lot of consultations, especially here in Katsina, considering the size of the state and also the number of important dignitaries that we have. So, it’s not about 2023, I have not made up my mind yet.
He called on Kastina people to watch and vote people with impeccable character with the know-how to represent them to avoid suffering for another full political year.
Said he: “They should open their eyes. They have seen what has happened within the last 22 years since the return of democracy in the country.
“It is about time that people realised that it is very important for them to participate in the political process and for them to look for people with the requisite qualities, capacity and necessary tools for leadership and good governance, and that is very easy to do as we know the good and we know the bad ones amongst us.
“And if anyone tries to impose a bad person on them, it is their inalienable right to resist it. So, we must wake up and make sure we revolutionise the political process in the state”, he added.
