Reports coming in from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial primaries in Katsina State reveal that eight out of the nine aspirants seeking guber ticket have staged walked out of the primary election venue on Monday.
Leadership reports that the aspirants staged the walk out immediately after the state governor, Ibrahim Shehu Shema cast his vote around 3.pm at the commencement of the exercise holding at the state’s Permanent NYSC orientation camp.
It would be recalled that nine persons including Senator Ibrahim Muhammad Ida, Engr Kabir Barkiya, Tukur Jikamshi, Nasiru Dutsinma, Ahmed Aminu Yaradua, Musa Nashuni, Nura Khalil, Umar Abdullahi Tsauri and Gide Aminu Yaradua have been in the race to obtain the state guber ticket on the platform of the PDP.
It was gathered that just few days to the commencement of the party primaries, the governor allegedly revealed to stakeholders that Mr. Musa Nashuni was his anointed successor, a development that reportedly pitched other aspirants against party leadership.
The eight aspirants who sat closed to each other at the VIP pavilion of the venue abruptly left the venue few minutes after voting began.
However, Senator Ida, Tukur Jikamshi and Nura Khalil left the venue immediately and were later followed by Engr. Barkiya, Ahmed Aminu as well as Abdullahi Tsauri.
