Both Adamu Idris and Kasimu Balarabe Musa are new comers in mainstream politics.
It could be racalled that late Alhaji Abdulkadir Balarabe Musa was the Governor of Kaduna State under the banner of the PRP in 1979 in the second republic.
PRP which was an offshoot of Northern Peoples Union, ( NEPU ) in the first republic, it campaign for equity and detest money politics.
Adamu Idris said, ” I am happy with the conduct of the election, as it was done on political interest and not as other political parties engage in money politics to induce delegates.”
