The Coalition of Southern Kaduna Nationalities (CSKN) has vowed to allign with another party if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) does not explain to her, the woeful performance of the Party in the Northern part of the state.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, yesterday, the leader of the group, Dr Yusuf Gandu Magaji, said, “ the Southern Kaduna Nationalities are disenchanted by the voting pattern as revealed by the results from Zone 1. We believe that there is a betrayal of confidence and trust along the party (PDP) stalwarts in Zone 1 who can no longer be trusted.
“The pattern of the results of the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections conducted on February 23, 2019 leaves much to be desired. The results from Kaduna State caused a shock to the Southern Kaduna Nationalities and instigated a rethink in our longstanding marriage and commitment to the opposition party, PDP.

“The result shows that PDP won overwhelmingly in the Southern Senatorial Zone. This stresses a fact that the Zone remained faithful and voted for the party en masse. However, in a sharp contrast, the party performed woefully in Zone 1 as their loyalty was shifted to APC.
“The key issue here is that most of the party heavy weights and those who benefitted during the PDP’s reign concentrated on Zone 1, yet they failed to deliver their wards to the party. We view this as a betrayal of the Presidential candidate in contrast to the bond, which questions our continuous loyalty to the party.
“The CSKN demands from Zone 1, a concrete and convincing explanation within 24 hours as a matter of urgency, on why Zone 3 should not negotiate with another variable political party for the governorship elections.
“Failure to respond within this time frame of 24 hours, will make us to begin negotiations with the party of our choice that can be trusted. We have capacity to turn our votes elsewhere overnight, especially to a candidate that can honour agreements.
