Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU) has dissociated itself from any upcoming protest seemingly directed against the administration of Senator Uba Sani.
The National President of the Union, Mr. Tabara Kato, revealed this during a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House.
The SOKAPU President expressed deep satisfaction with the policy trajectory of Governor Uba Sani’s administration and lauded the equitable and inclusive execution of projects across the state. Commending the administration’s rural transformation initiatives, Comrade Kato emphasized that the implementation of the SUSTAIN Agenda signifies a new era for Kaduna State. He further stated that no son or daughter from Southern Kaduna will be part of the planned protest as the leadership of the Union is moving around to ensure no protest in the zone.
He stressed the need for unwavering support instead of engaging in protests, stating, “All we need in this country and Kaduna State is what will stabilize it; enough of protest.” Mr. Kato highlighted the importance of fostering positive engagements with Nigerian citizens, focusing on the country’s positive developments and challenges.
While emphasizing their commitment to the Governor’s SUSTAIN Agenda, he urged security agencies to stay vigilant, cautioning that such protests might disrupt public peace.
In her response, the Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, expressed appreciation to the SOKAPU leadership for the visit and called for a collaborative spirit between the government and SOKAPU, fostering a platform for continued partnership in steering the state towards progress and development.
