The opposition parties in Kaduna State are perfecting plans to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress as the Peoples Democratic Party is mulling over an alliance with the Labour Party which would lead to the defeat of the APC governorship candidate Sani Uba.
Uba is the anointed candidate of Governor Nasir El-Rufai and the APC camp is jittery following the defeat of the party in the state during the last presidential elections.
The party won only two local governments while Labour claimed six with PDP winning more than 20.
However, the opposition party recognised the fact that teaming up is the only option opened to them to win the state and the chairman of PDP in Kaduna State and former Minister of Aviation, Felix Hassan Hyet, hinted that the party was in alliance talks with the Labour Party.
He said people would unite to chase out the APC government in the state by voting for the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Isa Ashiru, to rescue the state
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to voters in the state to vote for the candidate of the party in the MArch 11 elections.
Buhari, in a viral video in Hausa, Buhari, acknowledged that the naira redesign policy of his government could be responsible for the abysmal performance of the APC in the state.

He said the naira redesign policy was not meant to cause hardship to Nigerians but enhance the economy.
He said: “First of all, I want to once again thank you for the confidence you have in me by electing me president on the platform of our party, the APC.
”I want to use this opportunity to inform you that Uba Sani is our candidate for the governorship election in Kaduna State. I am begging you to vote for him and all APC candidates for the House of Assembly to help him work.
“Uba is a leading member of this journey. We worked together in the Senate and he demonstrated capacity and competence. He will perform better than expected.
“Kaduna is home to me. Therefore, I urge you to vote for Uba Sani and all our APC candidates for the State Assembly.”
