The vice-president elect, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo was yesterday in Southern Kaduna where he received over 5,000 members of
the Peoples Democratic Party who decamped to the All Progressives Congress in
Southern Kaduna area of Kaduna state. Osinbajo was in the State to solicit
support for his party’s Governorship candidate, Nasir El-Rufai. He also told
the people of Kaduna to vote PDP out because PDP has done more harm to Nigeria
under the disguise of religion than any other party.
“The PDP has done more harm to
Nigeria using religion and playing the religious card to just consolidate
power, it is dangerous and more deadly for this nation. I am here to say that
only righteousness exalts a nation, the people of Southern Kaduna must rise up
and ensure that manipulators of religion are defeated,” Osinbajo told the
crowd.
“What Nigerians need is nothing
but a government that will make necessary sacrifice for peace and development
of the country. When I was nominated as running mate, many criticized me that
why will I agree to pair with an extremist? We all know it is manipulation,
Buhari never participated in anything related to extremism. It was purely
blackmail and at the end the truth is out. I urged the people here to be firm
and stand for what will bring about common good,” Mr. Osinbajo said.
Among those who decamped are, a former member of House of Representatives, Ruth Ango, former Commissioner and Attorney General, Zakari Sogfa, and 114 immediate past councillors from eight local government areas of the zone with thousands of their supporters.
