The 2023 Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kaduna State, Hon. Isah Ashiru, has that he had accepted the Supreme Court ruling which affirmed Senator Uba Sani as governor of the state.
Ashiru, who stated this during a media parley with Journalists in Kaduna, over the outcome of the Supreme Court, described the hiccups of the elections as unfortunate, adding that he won the election because the people voted overwhelmingly for him, hence his decision to seek legal redress.
However, the PDP candidate commended the people of the state for voting for him during the last election.
Ashiru further expressed optimism that his party will bounce back in Kaduna State, noting that it will not be deterred by the court judgment.
Also speaking on the forthcoming by-election in Kaduna State, slated for February 3, 2024, Ashiru said, they will put up strategies to win the elections and thereafter go back to their drawing board to strategise for the 2027 general elections.
However, he promised to contribute his quota to the development of the state when called upon, like every Nigerian who wants the best for his people,
“I have not lost any election. The people of Kaduna State voted for me and that is why I chose to go to the judiciary.
” I am on and I will continue. I have gone to the last resort and I take the outcome with good fate.
“My ambition is to serve the good people of Kaduna State. We will not be deterred by the hiccups.
“We wish the government well. PDP is still on the ground in Kaduna state and we are going to work for the bye-election.
“What happened is very unfortunate. The terrain in politics has changed drastically. What happened is not politics because we do not have to take politics as a do-or-die affair.
“However, we will go back to the drawing board, try to mobilize our people and sensitize them because politics is a process and it is evolving” he stressed.
