Senator Sunday Katung has called on members of the All Progressives Congress in Kaduna South Senatorial District to embrace peaceful and issue-driven politics as the party prepares for its upcoming primaries.
In a statement released on Thursday, the lawmaker urged supporters, stakeholders, and party members to avoid bitterness and divisive rhetoric, stressing the need for civility and mutual respect during the internal electoral process.
Katung noted that while party primaries are an essential part of democratic practice, they should not be turned into platforms for personal attacks or unnecessary conflict.
“Politics must remain a noble instrument of service, not a theatre for personal vendettas or division,” he said.
He appealed to party members to remain calm, law-abiding, and focused on the broader goal of promoting peace, unity, and development across Southern Kaduna.
According to him, no individual ambition should override the collective interest of the people, urging aspirants to strictly follow party guidelines and respect the outcome of a credible process.
“The interest of our people must always come before personal ambition. No aspiration, however worthy, can surpass the collective interest of Southern Kaduna,” Katung stated.
The senator also expressed confidence in the APC’s internal processes and called for unity among members ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He further encouraged support for President Bola Tinubu, Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, and other APC candidates.
Katung condemned all forms of political violence and urged constituents to demonstrate commitment to democracy through peaceful participation and issue-based engagement.
He expressed optimism that Southern Kaduna would continue to uphold unity and responsible political conduct as the elections approach.
