I’m not against your choice, But this is my reality: Jethro Daniel

I AM NOT AGAINST YOUR CHOICE, BUT THIS IS MY REALITY

Jethro Daniel is my name. I am a Christian from Kaduna State, birthplace of the insensitive, selfish and divisive Muslim-Muslim Ticket. I DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO FIGHT TO DEFEAT THE MUSLIM-MUSLIM TICKET FROM SUCCEEDING AT BOTH NATIONAL and STATE LEVELS. It is an IMPERATIVE MUST! If it were a Christian-Christian Ticket, I would be just as loud and fierce in fighting it. So, unlike those in the SS, SE and SW who can afford to EXPERIMENT with any candidates at the presidential election level, knowing full well that regardless of outcomes one of their brothers or sisters will be their governor in their states, and all federal appointments due to their states will be occupied by one of their own regardless of which party produces the governor or president, IT IS NOT THE SAME REALITY FOR ME in Southern Kaduna where for the past 8 years we have been politically orphaned by the sectional leadership of both Buhari and Elrufa’i, except for a few inconsequential positions we used to take for granted during the PDP years. For example, all the ministers from the state come from a favoured part of the state and of all the top positions in the state, none is from Southern Kaduna where I come from. So, for us, to remain relevant is to stick with the Tested and Trusted PDP.

But it is not the same with the PDP, a party that knows the worth of my constituency, during the 16-year reign of which Southern Kaduna – A Senatorial District, NOT A STATE, produced a Governor, GMD of the NNPC, SERVICE CHIEFS and about 6 ministers OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC. Those years are indubitably THE GOLDEN POLITICAL ERA OF SOUTHERN KADUNA IN NIGERIAN POLITICS.

So, my friends, this is part of what I mean when I say we do not have the same political reality, even if we are all Christians or of the same North (like those in Plateau and Benue), we are not facing the same existential threat politically in the face of the divisive, insensitive and provocative Muslim-Muslim Ticket of the APC.

As a SOUTHERN KADUNA MAN, and a Patriot, for the sake of our posterity I AM CONDEMNED TO STICK WITH THE PDP so that every son and daughter of Southern Kaduna – born and unborn, can aspire to whatever position they wish to aspire now and in the future. As things are now, and worse if the scheme of the APC succeeds at the national and state levels, such aspirations are not possible. THEREFORE, I DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF EXPERIMENTATION.

I owe no one an apology for fighting to make my people stay relevant politically, not even my own kith and kin who as yet may not understand the reality we face as a people.

GOOD MORNING KADALITES 🙏

So HELP ME GOD!
