The Amalgamation of Deregistered Political Parties of Nigeria (ADPPN), on Tuesday, endorsed the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Sen. Uba Sani, ahead of Saturday’s gubernatorial election.
The ADPPN Secretary, Amb. Matoh Yakubu, made the endorsement known while addressing newsmen at the NUJ secretariat in Kaduna.
Yakubu, who said the amalgamated parties were deregistered after the 2019 general election, noted that ADPPN had made name, having been key participants in the 2015 and 2019 general poll.
“We are therefore here riding on our resourcefulness, contact, great mobilisation skills, cutting across the entire 23 LGAs of Kaduna State, to deploy in deepening our democratic culture, adding flair to service delivery and political leadership.

“Before arriving at this juncture, we consulted widely with our members, network of stakeholders, and opinion leaders; we appraised them of the clear record of achievements of Sen. Uba Sani,” he said.
Yakubu stated that the wide-ranging consultations provided them the mandate to make the declaration of supporting in the news conference.
He noted that they were disturbed by the negative signals coming from some political parties which had decided to create political gimmick called the “Muslim-Muslim” ticket.
“This phrase is a coinage of the opposition in Kaduna State; the APC only gave voice to our women who have been kept in the backyard for long and for the last four years, the performance of Kaduna State women in governance is clear to everyone to see.
“We state clearly that the combination of Senator Uba Sani and Dr Hadiza Balarabe is a strategic strike at the political balancing act.
“This political brinkmanship is giving the opposition a nightmare because the strategy has provided Kaduna State unprecedented development strides in the annals of the history of Kaduna State,” ADPPN Secretary added.
He said they, therefore, took cursory look into some of the monumental achievements that elevated Sani above other party candidates.
“Sani is a mentor to many young people in Nigeria, irrespective of tribe, ethnicity or religion; his foundation is a source of succor to many indigent students through its scholarship scheme.
“He led the struggle for the reduction of the interest payment on soft loans that he facilitated for Nigerians, irrespective of tribe, religion, ethnicity, or social status,” Yakubu said.
He, however, called on the people of Kaduna State to troop out in their numbers and cast their votes for Sani on Saturday.
