 NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The People’s Redemption Party, (PRP) governorship candidate of Kaduna state, Hayyatudeen Lawal has on Thursday said, the state is now at the point where it needs the right leadership to pull her out of the woods.

Hayyatudeen, while commending the media, also called on members of the fourth estate of the realm to continue to contribute their quota professionally to make sure that happens come 2023 general elections.

He made the call at the NUJ Kaduna maiden media parley with candidates of Political parties in the 2023 general elections in the state, where he also unveiled his three point agenda, of social Justice, economic and Human Capital Development.

” Kaduna is the second most indebted state after Lagos and if you look at all the indices of growth and development you will be amazed to see that we have never been at  this abysmal point, 

” what we are looking for is a free and fair election in 2023,  that will usher in a new crop of leaders”

He said ” iinterms of resources human and otherwise, Kaduna has been blessed in every ramification, but interms of who leads and he’s able to manage more effectively, these resources that the  Almighty has blessed Kaduna state with

”  so that we can move away from insecurity, move away from restiveness and joblessness of the youths, we move away from the  poor status or our educational system or poor health system as well as all the other sectors of our economy” he added

According to him, ”  we are at a point where we want to see leadership at its best, we can no longer afford to have leadership the way it has been in the last 23 years or almost 24 years”

He charged the media saying  ” My only call to the journalists in Kaduna, is 2023 is not just about politicians, 2023 is not just about the hype of political activities, we want to challenge you to play your roles as professionals in journalism, that the impact of the information you send across will help the people of Kaduna to select who becomes their leader come 2023″

He said “PRP might not have the resources to muscle it and compete but then the effect of a wrong selection will not be felt by only the PRP, but will also be felt by the journalists in the state,

” I believe it’s a moral responsibility for each and every one of you, for those who are with us and those who are at their places of work that it does just lay in the hands of young politicians like us or the big ones that have billions to churn out,

 “we want to have a different Kaduna come 2023, we want to have a different Nigeria come 2023. and a lot of these has to do with the role journalists play in the 5- 7 months before the election”

He further stressed the need for Kaduna state to move from consumption  to production for sustanable socio-econmic development, through revamping keys sectors such as tourism , small scale industries and information communication technology among others

 Hayyatudeen said, the PRP government will work closely with Religious organistions and leaders to champion the process of uniting the people irrespective of religious or cultural differences .

   He called on the youth to embrace his movement as they represent the  younger majority  who are innovative, creative and have the best interest of the country at heart.
