The candidates stepping back include Zipporah Samuel Bijeh from the Accord party, David Sunday representing the Zenith Labour Party, Idris Inuwa of the Social Democratic Party, and David Ogah Batholomew from the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

The announcement of this collective decision was made by Idris Inuwa during a press address in Kaduna on Thursday.

Addressing the press on behalf of the four candidates, Inuwa emphasized the outstanding leadership qualities demonstrated by Governor Uba Sani in Kaduna State.

He expressed conviction that having the APC at the State House of Assembly would facilitate the process of obtaining projects and other benefits for the people.

Inuwa stated, “We entered the contest to represent Chikun, for our people to enjoy the dividends of democracy, and among the candidates, we believe the APC candidate can do that.” He further highlighted the need for a House member to be in the same political party as the governor for a seamless delivery of democratic dividends in the constituency.

The move signifies a collaborative effort to enhance the prospects of victory for the APC candidate in the upcoming election, scheduled for Saturday. The candidates expressed confidence in the APC’s commitment to the development of Kaduna State and the well-being of its citizens.
