Timothy Adamu, the Action Alliance’s (AA) candidate for governor of Kaduna State, has refuted reports that he will withdraw from the race on March 11 in favour of the PDP’s candidate.
At a news conference on Monday in Kaduna, Ambassador Sanin Yaya, chairman of the Rescue and Rebuild Gubernatorial Candidates’ Forum, stated: “Today, we wish to announce our support and loyalty to Isa Mohammed Ashiru Kudan, the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP. We took this decision after extensive consultation with our party members, as well as the good people of Kaduna state.”
But the AA candidate, while speaking with newsmen said, “I am not aware of the decision, l am not a party to it, nobody has contacted me and l have not had any meeting with anybody to step down my aspiration of contesting and winning the governorship election in Kaduna state.”
He assured that he was prepared to showcase his popularity in the state on Saturday when eligible voters of Kaduna state would vote for candidates of their choice to determine who will be the next governor of the state.
