- This has reportedly brought crises to the Kaduna state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

- Incumbent senator for the senatorial district, Othman Hunkuyi’s and Hon. Ubale Salmanduna are the two PDP aspirants claiming the ticket

Crisis has reportedly erupted in the Kaduna state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over who the authentic senatorial candidate for the Kaduna north senatorial district is.

The claim of Othman Hunkuyi’s who is the incumbent senator for the senatorial district has been challenged by Hon Ubale Salmanduna who is claiming that Othman Hunkuyi’s name was submitted in error because he never participated in the primaries.

“Senator Hunkuyi who is claiming to be the candidate did not participate in the primaries.

“He contested as governorship candidate and was defeated. How can somebody who did not participate in the primaries be the candidate of our party. Please ignore any such claim,” Salmanduna said.

In his reaction to the development, Hunkuyi dismissed the claim by Hon Salmanduna as a non-issue.

Yahaya Shinko, media aide of the senator said Hunkuyi contested the governorship primaries and when he lost, contested the senate primaries with five other aspirants and won, The Sun reports.

“Hunkuyi contested in the senatorial primary after he lost in the gubernatorial primary.

“He came first in the primary, while Ubale came second. The election was monitored by INEC.

“If he Ubale says he was the authentic candidate, why doesn’t he wait for the court to decide since he has gone to court.

“There was even an appeal committee that came to Kaduna after the primary, yet, there was no complain from the aspirants then including Ubale.

“Hunkuyi purchased his senatorial form, got screened by the party and took part in the primary which he emerged the winner, and Ubale came fourth position.

“Let me tell you, Hunkuyi was offered an automatic ticket by the party for the senatorial ticket , but he refused and insisted on primary This was done after he lost in the gubernatorial primary.

“And even when INEC displayed the list of candidates, it was Hunkuyi’s name that was on the list. So, he remains the party’s senatorial candidate for Zone one,” he said.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, on Sunday, December 9, urged his supporters never to be afraid of federal might as the 2019 general elections draw near.
