The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration of Atiku Bagudu has abandoned the people of Yauri and Zuru.
The Kebbi South senatorial candidate of the party, Garba Musa Maidoki said this when he addressed newsmen in Zuru on Tuesday.
“The people of Yauri and Zuru are passing through all forms of bitter experiences with little or no intervention from the state government. Our people are being killed by bandits on regular basis. IDP camps keep swelling up. Farmlands have been abandoned. We are vulnerable to all kinds of human and natural disasters.
“No reasonable government will allow female students to spend nearly two years in the hands terrorists without any efforts to rescue them. The present APC-lead government just did that.
“Eleven female students of the Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) Birnin Yauri are being tortured, raped, impregnated, and subjected to forced marriage but Kebbi state government couldn’t sympathize with the students nor the dying parents,” Maidoki said.
He lamented over the deplorable condition of the roads, poor socioeconomic activities, collapsed agricultural projects, nonexistent female representation in governance as well as lack of rural transformation.
The candidate also described the situation as a deliberate and calculated plan to marginalize the area.
According to him, the people of Kebbi South have resolved to support the PDP to end “the unbelievable torture that the APC-led government had made them to pass through.
Maidoki commended the party faithfuls “for demonstrating the high level of patriotism in the struggle of liberating their Senatorial District from the current state of underdevelopment.
He assured that the people of the zone have answered the clarion call to part ways with the APC government, adding that they turn out en mass to vote PDP in the 2023 general elections.
Maidoki therefore called on his supporters to protect, defend and preserve their PVCs by denying any access to their cards.
