PDP Candidate Declares‘Governorship Seat Vacant’, Gives Reason
Isah Ashiru, the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the March 18 governorship election in Kaduna State, has contended that the governor’s position in the state is currently vacant.
Ashiru made this declaration during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today program on Friday.
Following Thursday’s decision by the Kaduna State governorship election petitions tribunal to dismiss Ashiru’s petition against Governor Uba Sani, the tribunal declared the election inconclusive and ordered fresh elections in seven wards across four local government areas in the state.
This judgment has given rise to controversies, with both Sani and Ashiru interpreting it in their favor.
In response to a question regarding who he believes is the current governor of Kaduna, Ashiru stated, “In my view, that seat is currently vacant, especially considering that the court has directed the withdrawal of the Certificate of Return that INEC issued to the governor.”He assured that he intends to appeal the case to ensure that the people’s mandate is reinstated. He emphasized their commitment to abiding by the law and expressed patience in pursuing the return of his mandate to its rightful conclusion.
Ashiru noted that if they succeed in the Appeal Court, it will be up to the opposing side to decide whether or not to take the case to the Supreme Court.
