The candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party in the March 18, 2023, governorship election in Kaduna State, Isa Ashiru, says he will not quit politics despite the Supreme Court’s verdict that affirmed the election of Governor Uba Sani.
Ashiru stated this at a media briefing in Kaduna following the Supreme Court’s judgment.
He also urged the governor to pilot the affairs of the state, saying he would accept a hand of fellowship if that is his wish.
It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal in Abuja had, on November 24, 2023, in a unanimous judgment, affirmed the election of Uba Sani as Kaduna State governor.
The PDP and Ashiru challenged the outcome of the governorship election, alleging that Uba was not duly elected by a majority of valid votes cast in the election.
The PDP governorship candidate said he had taken the Supreme Court’s verdict in good faith while maintaining that he never lost the 2023 governorship election in the state.
Ashiru equally noted that he would not quit the stage, noting that politics is not about him but about the good people of Kaduna State.
