A frontline aspirant for the State House of Assembly seat, Hon. Abdulmalik Yaba Maisaka, has officially stepped down from the race, citing respect for the party’s zoning arrangement.
In a statement made available to journalists, Maisaka said his decision was guided by his commitment to party unity and discipline, noting that he fully supports the move by the state governor to zone the Assembly seat to Ward A.
He emphasized that while he remains passionate about serving his people, the interest of the party and the need for harmony among stakeholders must take precedence.
“I have decided to step aside from the Assembly race in respect of the governor’s decision to zone the seat to Ward A. As a loyal party member, I believe in upholding collective decisions that strengthen our unity,” he said.
Maisaka further called on his supporters and political associates to remain calm and continue to support the party’s leadership, urging them to work together for the success of the eventual candidate.
His withdrawal is seen as a significant development in the evolving political dynamics within the constituency, as stakeholders continue consultations ahead of the forthcoming elections.
