Former Director General of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Mallam Mohammed Sani Sidi, has joined the governorship race in Kaduna.
He has expressed his intention for the governorship post on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He submitted his letter of intent to the State Executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Kaduna on Tuesday.
Said Sidi: “I consider the warm reception you have accorded me and my supporters here as an honour and a rare privilege, considering the short notice I gave you in the midst of your very busy schedules. I remain forever grateful for the honour and privilege.
“I am here for two reasons. First, I am here to express my appreciation to you Mr. Chairman and your working committee for all your efforts and sacrifices to ensure that our Party and the PDP family continue to remain virile, focused and united.
“This is in spite of the myriad of challenges that continue to shake their fists before your faces.
“It is this resilience of yours, our leaders that kept our Party from being devoured by wolves that disguised in sheep clothing.
“It is for this your tenacity, that we still have a party today called the PDP.
“It is for this your resoluteness that we still have hope for the common man come 2019.”
Sani told the PDP chieftains and other members that he was at the secretariat to seek their blessing and prayer.
“My desire to run for the office of Kaduna State governor springs from my burning passion to rescue our dear state from systematic destruction,” Sidi said.

“My vision for Kaduna State is one of a peaceful, united and prosperous state.
“God has endowed our dear state with abundant human and material resources, and one of my main goals is to provide the necessary visionary leadership that harnesses these resources together to transform the state for our collective good.
“Although in opposition, our party, the PDP, is still the biggest, strongest and most united.
“Under my leadership, I will ensure the entrenchment of the Principle of Party supremacy where all of us are subjected to the supremacy of the Party irrespective of our political status,” he added.
