The Gubernatorial candidate of PDP in kaduna state Hon Isa Ashiru Kudan has called on people in the state to intensify prayers over the deteriorating security situation in the state in particular and Nigeria as a whole.
Speaking when he visited KEKE a settlement outskirt Kaduna Town where over 30 people were kidnapped recently. Hon. Isa Ashiru said the present administration have abdicated its responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of the citizens but instead abandoned them to the hands of bandits and kidnappers adding that embarking on consistent prayers for God to intervene in the present security challenges facing the country is their only option for now before a responsible govt is voted God's willing in 2023.
He then commiserates with people of the area over the incident and prayed for a quick and safe return of the kidnapped victims. Hon Isa Ashiru then donated the sum of 250k to the vigilante group of the area to enable them buy items needed to carry out their duty without hinderance.
Earlier in his welcome address, the district head of the area Alh Mutari Haruna, who could not hold back his tears commended Hon Isa Ashiru for the visit which he said is the first by any leader in the state despite numerous Bandits attacks in the area.
Alh Muntari said he couldn't hold back his tears because when some residents of the area are moving out while those who have relatives in the area couldn't come to see them, he decided to come and commiserate with them. This according him, has proved that he (Hon Isa Ashiru Kudan) is indeed a kind hearted leader who cares so much about the people.
Meanwhile, residents in the area came out in large numbers to express their happiness over the visit and wished him well in his political ambition
