Leadership (Abuja)

Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Kaduna Central Senatorial District have cried out to President Goodluck Jonathan to as a matter of justice and fair play address the marginalisation they alleged had been meted out to the zone.
In a statement signed by two of the members Yushau Rahaman Shika and Bulus Gwada, they said “We want to appeal to President Goodluck Jonathan, a just, fair and equitable president to come to our aid and intervene in this issue and help address the marginalization of our zone and the death kennel being promoted for PDP in our state. We would appreciate an urgent intervention and a correction to this misnomer before it degenerates to further unhealthy developments.
We have not yet healed the wounds of the post election violence nor have forgotten the battles we fought to be where we are today. One wonders what is wrong or what are the offences of the many competent party men and women from our zone?
Expressing their displeasure, the PDP chieftains added that the recent ministerial nominee cleared by the Senate does not in any way represent the party or the genuine interests of the zone, saying, “Only recently for the first time in the political history of our great state an indigene was chosen as a nominee from the zone, but unfortunately, this impression did not last long when we heard the replacement of Mrs Zainab Ahmed Shamsuna, who had withdrawn, and another name was submitted as replacement in the person of Mrs. Hadiza Mailafiya who is neither from the zone nor a PDP card carrying member.
