BEVERLY HILLS, JULY 30, (THEWILL) – Alhaji Mukhtar Ramalan Yero, immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, has formally declared his bid to run for governor in 2019 and retake the seat from incumbent, Nasir El-rufai, whose popularity has been on a steady decline due to a couple of factors including poor governance and insecurity.

Yero in a Letter of Intent to his party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said his decision to run again was due to “several calls from people.”

“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…,” the politician, wrote.

THEWILL notes that the controversial El-rufai of the All Progressives Congress, APC, rode to power on the popularity of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.

However, many pundits think Kaduna is one of the states that the PDP can retake in 2019. The pundits have also listed Benue, Niger, Plateau, Adamawa and Kwara as states that can swing PDP.
