Addressing a news conference in Kaduna, the Labour Party candidate insists that no amount of blackmail or pressure by the PDP or religious leaders from Southern Kaduna will make him to step down for any candidate, noting that his party is fully prepared and determined to win the forthcoming elections and form the next government in the state.

Asake, who is the immediate past National President of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union ( SOKAPU), however, urges his supporters to disregard the rumour and come out in their large numbers on Saturday and vote for the Labour Party .
