Sidi joins PDP Kaduna gubernatorial race

Former Director General of National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Alhaji Sani Sidi yesterday declared his intention to contest Kaduna state gubernatorial election under the platform of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general elections.
Sidi, who was former commissioner for health among others in Kaduna state, said his aspiration is borne out of need to rescue the people from insecurity, systematic destruction, poverty, hunger, digital corruption, bad governance and backward leadership.
He said his mission is to rescue the state from total collapse by harnessing the state’s resources to transform it for collective good.
“Nigerians are eagerly waiting for the PDP to bounce back and set our people free from the chains of hunger, insecurity, digital corruption, bad governance and backward leadership that we have been plunged into, especially in Kaduna state where the style of leadership is government of deceit by destroyers for family and friends.
“The reason of my coming here is to formally inform you of my intention to contest the governorship of Kaduna state in the forthcoming 2019 general elections on the platform of our great party the PDP.
This decision was taken after due consultation with my family, friends, political associates and key stakeholders across the state.
I have come therefore to seek for your blessing and prayers.
“My desire to run for the office of Kaduna state governor springs from my burning passion to rescue our dear state from systematic destruction we are currently witnessing by the present crop of heartless leaders whose only style of leadership is to make life unbearably difficult for the electorate that voted them into power.
“Although they came on the mantra of change and fighting corruption, we have indeed witnessed a change but for the worst.
The last three years of their leadership has witnessed corruption of monumental proportion never before witnessed in the history of our country.
My aspiration is a rescue missions to save our state from further drift into total collapse.
“My vision for Kaduna state is one of a peaceful, united and prosperous state.
God has endowed our dear state with abundant human and material resources.
We will stop the kidnappings, abductions, armed robbery and the general insecurity which have become the trademark of the present administration.
We must save our educational system by training our teachers, provide good health care, develop our infrastructure and above all, unite our people.
