By Godwin Isenyo
A chairmanship hopeful in Kaduna State, Comrade Danjuma Bello-Sarki, has promised to lead the People’s Democratic Party to victory in the 2027 elections if elected the state chairman.
Addressing a large crowd of party members and supporters, Bello-Sarki emphasised his commitment to legitimately ensuring the PDP’s success and sending the governing All Progressives Congress government out of office, come 2027.
He highlighted his extensive experience and knowledge gained from various positions held within the party and assured his supporters that he would not let them down if given the mandate.
The chairmanship hopeful urged party members to actively participate in the forthcoming congresses by electing trustworthy and visionary leaders from the ward to the state levels.
Bello-Sarki said, “Today is the meeting of brothers and sisters. You know, before I joined the race to contest the chairmanship in Kaduna State, young people (youth) were the first set of people who came together and called on me to come and contest. Based on their call, I went round to confer with our elders and leaders to seek their support and know if it’s right for me to contest and I got the nod and from there I went ahead to declare at my ward, local government and senatorial district offices of the party.
“So, I deem it fit and appropriate that I should return to the same constituency, that is the young people, to tell them that I have totally and completely accepted the call they made to me to join the race and that I have heeded their call and by the grace of God, I will not disappoint them.’’
“That the confidence they reposed in me, I am going to see them through and when I become the chairman of the PDP in Kaduna State, they will not be disappointed, rather, I will lead the young people to their polling units, wards, local governments levels and mobilise people en-mass who will cast their votes for the candidates of the PDP from the governorship to the House of Assembly levels as well as the presidential elections and when we win, nobody will be able to rig us out the way they did in 2019 and 2023.
“I have come to inform the youths that I am ready to lead them to battle come 2027 when elected the chairman of the PDP.”
Speaking to newsmen shortly after a consultative meeting with members of the PDP Youth Wing in Kaduna on Sunday, Bello-Sarki also vowed to unify the party in the state, stating that he is saddened by the exit of members due to lack of unity among leaders.
He revealed that his campaign is focused on reconciling aggrieved members and promoting unity, stressing that he will listen to all members and address their grievances.
He further expressed optimism that a united PDP will achieve victory in the 2027 elections.
“I want to say that it is sad that our members are leaving the party. They have been leaving the party even before now, but you know that is one of the things that I am coming into the party to correct. That’s why, in my campaign posters, you will see that I am the unifier.
“One of the reasons that they left was the lack of unity among some of the leaders of the party. Believe me, when I become the chairman of the people, I will be able to lead and unite the party so that we will be able sit down with all aggrieved members to see how we can reconcile,” he maintained.
Speakers at the event included the Ashafa Waziri, a fellow chairmanship aspirant who pledged his support for Sarki’s candidacy while emphasising the need for politics without bitterness and slander.
Waziri expressed his unfettered support and friendship towards Sarki and prayed for the best candidate to emerge.
FIRST CLASS GISTS reports that the event also saw members from other political parties declare their intention to return to the PDP following Sarki’s party ambition, signalling a potential boost for the party in the upcoming elections.
