He stated that his desire to govern Kaduna State on the PDP platform was still intact during an interactive session with journalists in Kaduna.
“I intend to pursue it until success is achieved,” he says.
According to reports, Ashiru served two terms in the Kaduna State House of Assembly before moving to the House of Representatives, where he served another two terms.
He also ran against Governor Nasir El-Rufai on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015, losing in the primaries, before joining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general elections, where he was elected as the candidate but defeated by Governor El-Rufai.
The PDP stalwart claimed to have a vision that, if given the chance, would transform people’s lives for the better, claiming that he is not in politics to serve himself but to serve the people.
