Senator Danjuma Laah, who represented Kaduna South in the 9th Senate, said the next governor of Kaduna State should emerge from Kaduna South Senatorial District in the interest of justice, equity and fairness.

Laah stated this on Thursday after submitting his governorship form at the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) national secretariat in Abuja.

He argued that the governorship seat should rotate among the state’s three senatorial districts to promote inclusiveness, noting that the incumbent governor is from Kaduna Central, while his predecessor was from Kaduna North.

“Since the present governor is from Kaduna Central and the immediate past governor was from Kaduna North, it is only fair that Kaduna South produces the next governor,” he said.

Laah said his ambition was driven by the desire to unite the state and tackle its security challenges, describing insecurity as Kaduna’s most pressing problem.

“Security remains one of the biggest challenges confronting Kaduna State. If given the opportunity to serve, I will do everything possible to restore peace and stability,” he said.

He also pledged to strengthen harmony between Christians and Muslims, saying religious divisions had widened in recent years.

“We must live together in peace and love one another. Kaduna belongs to all of us, regardless of religion, ethnicity or place of origin,” he said, adding that every resident deserved equal treatment without discrimination.

Calling for greater unity across the state, he said every resident of Kaduna deserved equal treatment irrespective of religion, ethnicity or place of origin.

“There should be no discrimination because you are from one place or another. Kaduna people are my people. We all belong to one state and should relate with one another as one family,” he said.

He also said his governorship bid was backed by his constituents.

“My aspiration is not a personal project. My people encouraged me to contest and have supported me throughout the process,” he said.
