The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State, Isa Ashiru, has announced former Kaduna State House of Assembly member, Irmiya Kantitok, as his running mate for the 2027 election.
The announcement comes barely a day after Mr Ashiru led efforts to reconcile rival factions within the Kaduna chapter of the ADC, ending months of internal leadership disputes and strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a statement announcing the development, on Thursday, Mr Ashiru described Mr Kantitok as an experienced legal practitioner and politician with the competence and integrity required to help drive the party’s vision for Kaduna State.
“Today, I proudly announce Barrister Irmiya Ishaku Kantitok as my running mate for the 2027 gubernatorial race under our great party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“A battle-tested legal titan and former Kaduna State House of Assembly member for three terms representing Zonkwa Constituency, Barrister Ishaku Kantitok embodies the intellect, integrity and resilience Kaduna State deserves at this time of its development.
