Recall that Senator Hunkuyi recently defected from the ruling All Progressive Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.

In his declaration, Senator Hunkuyi called on all present that “it is time to kill this change in Kaduna state.”

He added that his decision to contest the governorship election stems from the people’s desire to chart a new direction for the state.

Accordingly, eleven out of twenty-three local governments present, unanimously resolved to support the lawmaker in the 2019 governorship elections.

They also resolved to vote out the ruling All Progressives Congress led by Nasir Elrufai out of power next year.
