Southern Kaduna Youths Urge Uba Sani to Choose Ashafa as Running Mate

The Kaduna State All Progressives Congress(APC) Governorship candidate, Senator Uba Sani, has been advised to   choose  Alhaji Isma’il Yusuf Ashafa as his running mate in the forthcoming 2023 election.

A group, Southern Kaduna Progressive Youths, made the call at a press conference in Kaduna.

“If chosen to serve as the running mate of distinguished Senator Sani in the forthcoming 2023 Kaduna State gubernatorial election, Alhaji Ashafa has all it takes to contribute positively to the development of the state,” the group said.

According to the group, having carved a niche for himself, he has always believed in the spirit of togetherness and since braveryy is the soul of wit as postulated by Williams Shakespeare in his novel Hamlet,  Ashafa is a man with the natural intelligence and endowed with the talent to make the state great via his positive contributions if given the opportunity to jointly serve the state alongside Senator Sani.

“Therefore, it is no surprise that there are growing calls and agitations amongst the youths of Kaduna State and Southern Kaduna in particular for Alhaji Isma’il Yusuf Ashafa (Sardaunan Ikulu) to join His excellency Senator Uba Sani as a running mate in the race to occupying the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House come 2023,” he said.

They said that  as youths of  Kaduna State  and their zone, Southern Kaduna, they are at this juncture with a unanimous voice and in one accord, endorsing the calls and yearnings of the people for Alhaji Ismail Yusuf Ashafa (Sardaunan Ikulu) to run with  Distinguished Senator Uba Sani in the build up to the 2023 elections.

The group added: “We also want to urge Distinguished Senator Uba Sani to consider picking Alh. Ismail Yusuf Ashafa (Sardaunan Ikulu) as his running mate for the elections, a joint ticket which in our firm believe holds greater chances to a landslide victory at the polls come 2023.

“We have no doubt that Alhaji  Ashafa possesses  the requisite ideas and qualities needed in making Kaduna great and Southern Kaduna better,” they said.

They added that as youths of Southern Kaduna, they were moved to address the press and by extension, the entire people of Southern Kaduna and  Kaduna State in general on the increasing calls and agitations by not just the ever conscious youth of their zone, but amongst youth across Zone 1, 2 and 3 and even outside the state for an Sani/  Ashafa  joint 2023 Kaduna State  Gubernatorial ticket.

“It is imperative to state here that this yearnings are completely devoid of tribal, religious, party affiliations and any personal sentiments but solely anchored on the pedigree, the personality, and the track records of  Alh.  Ashafa, who is currently serving as an assistant director in the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) Abuja.

It is also worthy of note to say that  Alhaji Ashafa, who is a council member in the Lere Emirate with the traditional title “Chigarin Saminaka” is a seasoned administrator, a versatile technocrat and a distinguished gentleman who has demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities and charisma through  deliberate youth and women empowerment and provision of basic amenities across communities in Southern Kaduna.

“Alh. Isma’il Yusuf Ashafa has more importantly been part of the peace building processes aimed at bringing lasting peace across Southern Kaduna and the state at large in different sphere of influence,” they pointed out.

The youths added that he has also achieved this through his philanthropic act, youth and women empowerment in many communities in the state.

“A highly meticulous individual who has been able to combine hard work and due diligence in executing duties assigned to him, Mr. Ismail Yusuf has also continued to resonate as a great leader, consummate administrator, a detribalised individual and personality people can trust,” they stressed.
