The newly elected Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kano State, Yusuf Ado Kibiya, has said the party did not participate in Saturdays local government election in the state because the process was undemocratic.
Addressing newsmen at Press Center, NUJ, Kano, on Monday, Kibiya said, There is no way local government elections under the kind of governments we operate in Nigeria, more specifically at the state level, would be free and fair.
The last council election in Kano was the worst in the history of local government elections because from the composition of the electoral umpire to the selling of forms and screening, it was never free so whats the essence of participating?
Speaking on his leadership and what he intends to achieve, Kibiya explained that he is going to enhance the democratic process by strengthening the democratic framework within the party.
This will ensure that every voice is heard and every vote counts, with focus on identifying and supporting credible leaders who are dedicated to serving the public with integrity and excellence, he added.
