The Southern Kaduna Youths for Progressive Development (SKYPAD) says the choice of Sunday Katung as running mate of Isa Ashiru, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for 2019 governorship elections is a right step.

The President of the group, Danjuma Sarki, said this while addressing Journalists on this development on Friday in Kaduna.

This, he said, was so considering Katung’s popularity, pedigree and vast experience in administration and politics.

He said that Katung, having spent many years in the financial sector and later in public service where he served as a commissioner in the state, would add value to the PDP ticket.

Sarki, therefore, called on the electorate in Kaduna State to support the PDP candidate for the 2019 governorship election to restore the state’s lost glory.

According to him, the PDP is the only party that will give Kaduna State hope and ensure the delivery of true democracy dividends to the people.

He said that as progressives, the group was poised to mould opinions and guide the electorate on the right choice.

“Our duty and responsibility is to provide direction as a responsible organisation,” he said, adding that the group would continue to agitate and call for more youth participation in politics.

He said that while that the future belonged to the youths, they should not expect the older generation to hand power to them without them making efforts.

“You must show responsibility and commitment for a better Nigeria,” he said. (NAN)
