Executive members of the Labour Party (LP) in Katsina State on Sunday unanimously adopted the governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Senator Yakubu Danmarke.

The excos led by the State Acting Chairman of the Labour Party, Comrade Mannir Salisu, said their decision was coming after their party chairman who was also the LP governorship candidate, Abu Musawa, dumped the party for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.

According to Salisu, the excos drawn from various wards, local and state levels had after thorough consultations arrived at this decision in search of a credible and qualified candidate who if elected will take Katsina to the promising land.

“This decision was informed by the agreement of our entire leaders in Katsina State,” he said.

“We, therefore, call on all members of the Labour Party, all support group members and all Obidients in Katsina State to come out en masse on the 18th of March, 2023 to cast their votes for the PDP governorship candidate, Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke.

“We believe he has quality and credibility. He is intelligent enough and he is such a person that the people of Katsina State are desperately in need of in order to get out of hunger, poverty and insecurity which were brought by the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“We, therefore, say no to APC to any other candidate except the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Senator Yakubu Lado Danmarke.”
