Kaduna Guber Poll: Concerned Pastors Drum Support For Asake

NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: As the race to the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, the seat of government in Kaduna State gathers momentum, the Labour Party, (LP) gubernatorial candidate, Hon Jonathan Asake, received a boost ahead of the March 11 poll, as the Concerned Pastors for Good Governance declared their total support for him.

This was contained in a statement by Apostle Edet Eyo, and Reverend Matthias Egwuka, Chairman and Secretary of the forum respectively, and made available to the media in Kaduna on Wednesday.

The forum who expressed reservation over a letter going virile on the social media purportedly to be a directive from the Christian Association of Nigeria, (CAN), Kaduna state directing them to vote the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Hon Isa Ashiru Kudan, urged the Christians to vote according to their conscience.

They stated that they got it from a good authority that CAN did not or intended to issue such statement, hence it is handiwork of desperate people who are threatened by the sudden rise of the Labour Party candidate.

The Concerned Pastors reminded Christians in the state that it is the policy of the Christian body to admonished people to vote for righteousness and true holiness at all levels.

They therefore encouraged the good people of Kaduna State to vote against every evil that has placed Nigeria in it present precarious situation, resulting from bad governance.

“As Concerned Pastors for Good Governance, we are here to discountenance every evil propaganda, insinuation or suggestion that Hon Jonathan ASAKE has stepped down, or should step down for any other candidate, no matter the consideration,” they stated.
