“Unfortunately, we found ourselves during the previous administration that neither showed empathy nor sympathy to traders. An approximate number of 36 markets were demolished at that time. None of these markets was completely rebuilt,till date, and we are suspicious of the collaboration between the previous administration and the market developers.
“We are therefore calling on Governor Uba Sani, our Governor of sympathy and understanding, to look at this issue with a view to resolving it. We are with Uba Sani one hundred per cent, ” he added.
A woman leader of the market association, Hajiya Hadiza Abdulaziz, said they have gathered in multitudes to reiterate their support to the APC and Governor Uba Sani who has tremendously supported the market men and women in Kaduna State.
” Most of the market women had no shops because the shops were collected. But now we give God the glory everybody has gotten their shops back and nobody will collect it again,” she said.
She expressed happiness that those who had prevented the market women from succeeding had left the party and government. “We have been crying. A lot of market women don’t have capital; they have been deceiving us. But now, I believe Governor Uba Sani is going to assist us,” she added.
The protesters later took to the streets, displaying placards with various inscriptions denouncing the previous arrangements and chanting slogans supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Uba Sani and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
