Ahead of weekend’s governorship and House of Assembly polls, the Labour Party (LP) in Katsina State on Sunday unanimously adopted the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke.
The LP Executive Committee led by the Acting Chairman, Comrade Mannir Salisu, said the decision was reached after their party chairman who was also the LP governorship candidate, Abu Musawa, dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
According to Salisu, the excos drawn from various wards, local and state levels had after consultations arrived at the decision in search of credible and qualified candidate who if elected will take Katsina to the Promised Land.
“This decision was informed by the agreement of our entire leaders in Katsina State,” he said, adding that, “we therefore call on all members of the Labour Party, all support group members and all Obidients in Katsina State to come out en masse on the 18th of March, 2023 to cast their votes for the PDP governorship candidate, Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke.
“We believe he has quality and credibility. He is intelligent enough and he is such a person that the people of Katsina State are desperately in need of in order to get out of hunger, poverty and insecurity which were brought by the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“We, therefore, say no, to APC, no, to any other candidates except the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke.”
