Kaduna state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Isah Ashiru to join hands with the state governor, Senator Uba Sani to move the state forward.
This was contained in a statement issued by the state secretary of the party, Yahaya Baba Pate on Friday, while reacting to the PDP’s candidate remarks after the tribunal dismissed all his petitions against the governor.
“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kaduna State Chapter has been drawn to a statement with the heading: “Tribunal Nullifies Uba Sani’s Election” issued by Hon. Isa Mohammed Ashiru, the Kaduna State gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections.
APC said, “Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have responded to his position because the ruling of the tribunal scuttled his long-time ambition of ruling Kaduna State in 2023 and beyond.
“However, for the sake of the unsuspecting populace and the many contradictions that laced his statement, we deem it necessary to set the record straight.
“In a statement issued on Thursday after the judgment of the tribunal affirming the election of His Excellency, Governor Uba Sani, Hon Ashiru mischievously informed his followers that the tribunal nullified His Excellency’s election.”
APC contended that they found his remarks as totally contradicting the tribunal ruling, thus “rather than restrategising and working hard to convince the superior courts to set aside the extant ruling, he resorted to counting his chicks before the eggs are hatched”.
“It is clear to us that the Kaduna electorate were right in rejecting the candidacy of Hon. Isah Ashiru. A man who speaks from both sides of his mouth, lacks knowledge of legal processes and is given to creating confusion, cannot be saddled with the responsibility of leading a complex and diverse state like Kaduna.
“No wonder the good people of Kaduna State settled for the urbane, resourceful, experienced and pro-people Senator Uba Sani as Governor.
“The APC wishes to call on the PDP gubernatorial candidate to refrain from spreading misleading information about the court judgment and join hands with the elected Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani to move our dear State forward.”
