Immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero on Monday formally joined the 2019 governorship race.

This was as he submitted the letter of intent to contest for the seat on the platform of the opposition, People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Addressing party members at its Kaduna secretariat shortly after submitting his Letter of Intent, Yero said his decision to contest was informed by the pressure from the people.

He explained that, ”I received several calls from people who wanted me to vie for the number one seat in the state

“Since May 29, 2015 governance has been a series of half-hearted trial and errors, with disastrous consequences on the people particularly the common man

“This decision was informed by the genuine concern of our people and the numerous calls l have received to contest in the forthcoming gubernatorial election of our dear Kaduna State.

“Having considered the plight of my people, l have consulted widely with my family members, key party stalwarts, political associates and other party faithful and have come to the conclusion to grant the wishes of my people by declaring to contest the gubernatorial elections by the Special Grace of the Almighty Allah.

“We are living witnesses to the myriad of problems facing the State. Governance since May 29, 2015 has been a series of half-hearted trial and errors, with disastrous consequences on the people particularly the common man.

Yero however, said security of lives and property will top his agenda, adding that, “The state has been rocked with unending bloodletting in recent months that has led to loss of lives.

“The state government no longer cares about the primary purpose of her existence, which is to provide security of lives and protect properties as well as improve the welfare of citizens.

“Lives and properties are being lost daily due to activities of armed banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, youth thuggery and street gangsterism.“ He stressed.
