The gubernatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State for the 2027 elections, Isa Ashiru, has pledged to provide good governance and deliver citizens from undemocratic leadership. He expressed gratitude to all party members for their support during the just-concluded ADC primaries.
Ashiru commended the party leadership for allowing a true democratic process before and during the primaries across all 255 electoral wards in the state. He stated that the affirmation of his candidacy by the Kaduna ADC as the duly elected winner at the gubernatorial primaries was to set the record straight.
The ADC candidate explained that the rancour-free primaries are a testament to the party's readiness in Kaduna State, not only to provide good governance to the teeming population but also to strengthen democracy for the benefit of all.
Ashiru made the remarks in a statement issued on Wednesday, where he called for unity among all party stakeholders. He noted, "It is natural in any contest, such as the just-concluded primaries of the ADC, some would lose, while some would win, but that does not mean that we must tear ourselves apart."
According to him, "We have to work together as one big family to rescue Kaduna State from its current economic and security hardships." He added, "It is on this note that I am genuinely calling on other aspirants to embrace the spirit of sportsmanship in the interest of the good people of Kaduna State."
Ashiru assured party loyalists, members, and followers of inclusiveness, adding that such action would foster internal cohesion and place the party in a better position to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming 2027 general elections.
He stressed that "the primary goal of the ADC is to address deep-seated poverty, widespread hunger, insecurity, and to restore faith in Kaduna's democratic institutions." He therefore called on Kaduna residents to unite and back his campaigns in the journey to rescue the state from maladministration.
