SOKAPU president resigns, joins Kaduna gubernatorial race

The President of Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU), Jonathan Asake, has resigned from his position to join the Kaduna State governorship race under the platform of the Labour Party (LP).

He dropped the hint at SOKAPU’s secretariat in Kaduna on Tuesday, saying he has to answer the clarion call of the majority of people who urged him to join the governorship race.

”What you’ve been hearing is now confirmed that I have answered the clarion call of the people and by at larger people of Kaduna State that I should contest for the gubernatorial election come 2023.

”I have answered this call having observed what has gone on for a very long time within my period as SOKAPU president and I have seen the way insecurity has taken over the entire state, criminals freely crossing our borders and come into our state and killed, destroyed our farmlands and get away with it, adding, I feel leadership can be fixed those things.
