The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna State has urged all members and stakeholders to stay calm as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, presents Senator Uba Sani with his certificate of return as governor-elect today, Friday.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Abraham Alberah Catoh, the party’s State Publicity Secretary, encouraged all supporters to be patient and calm, stating that all legal avenues would be pursued to ensure they reclaimed their mandate.
According to him, the presentation of the Certificate of Return by INEC is a standard process, “but it will be temporary because the true winner of the gubernatorial election (Hon. Ashiru Kudan) will soon recover his mandate through the competent authorities.”
“Our candidate, Rt. Hon. Mohammed Isa Ashiru, won convincingly in the election, and all legally acceptable processes are in place to reclaim the people’s mandate,” he said.
“In accordance with Section 82 of the Electoral Act 2022, we submitted our Application for Review of the Election last Friday and are awaiting a response from INEC National Headquarters,” he added.
The party congratulated all of its members who were elected to various posts during the election.
