The group through their representatives, Chief Peter Buba, Mr. Maman Sarki, Mr. Martins Chiroma, Mr. Istifanus Zim and Chief Iliya Bako gave the caution in a press statement issued to Salama News on Monday.

While commending the recent supreme Court judgement which granted full autonomy to local government councils in the country, the group expressed hope that the move will bring development to the grassroot, hence, the people should be allowed to elect those they feel will protect their interests to occupy the position.

It commended the People's Democratic Party, PDP, for conducting her ward and local government congresses peacefully and hoped that the coming elections will equally be hitch free.

The Elders, Senior Citizens and Development-minded individuals however, called on all Development Associations in Jaba LGA in conjunction with Ham Development Association (HAMDA) to facilitate a Town Hall Meeting: We propose a town hall meeting where all political aspirants at the local government and ward levels can present their manifestos to the people.

They commended the Kaduna State Governor for demonstrating commitment to the rule of law, justice, and fairness, adding that it has given them hope that Jaba Local Government can thrive under this administration.

SK GROUP PASSES VOTE OF CONFIDENCE OF SENATOR KATUNG; SAYS CRITICS PURSUING PERSONAL AGENDA

Youths under the aegis of "Coalition of Southern Kaduna Youths", have condemned what they called campaign of calumny against the Senator representing the region, Barr Sunday Marshall Katung.

Addressing journalists in Kaduna on Wednesday, Coordinator of the Coalition, Comrade Luke Duniya Augustine said the negative and unfortunate campaigns against Senator Katung, were personal, selfish and not in the interest of the overall development of Southern Kaduna.

Augustine said Senator Katung had within the first one year as representative of the Southern Kaduna people, surpassed the expectations by addressing the very issues that affect the people of the region the most.

He lamented how some individuals or a group of individuals have decided to launch a campaign of calumny against the well respected Senator, Barr Sunday Marshall Katung by trying to smear his name and his hard earned reputation through misrepresentation of facts.

He maintained that Senator Katung in the last one year has performed far beyond the expectations of many.

The group cited how insecurity has always been one of the major problems confronting the region, but in the last one year, the Senator has effectively collaborated with security agents operating in the area to stabilize the region.

The Coalition however called on the critics and detractors of Senator Katung to desist and allow him deliver the excellent representation he has started giving to the region.

While passing a vote of confidence on Distinguished Senator Barr Sunday Marshall Katung, the group however, called on all well-meaning Southern Kaduna sons and daughters to ignore those voices of political jobbers who only earn a living by such tantrums.
