Kaduna State’s African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate Isa Ashiru announces Irmiya Kantiok as his running mate ahead of the 2027 governorship election. According to the announcement, Kantiok is a former member of the Kaduna State House of Assembly who served three terms. Ashiru communicates the choice in a statement released on Wednesday, presenting Kantiok as the candidate selected to run with him in the election. The reports describe the decision as part of preparations for the upcoming 2027 general elections in Kaduna State. While the sources do not include detailed policy positions or a biography beyond Kantiok’s legislative tenure, both accounts confirm that Kantiok’s experience as a repeated lawmaker is central to the selection. The announcement marks a formal step in the ADC’s candidate lineup for the governorship race in Kaduna, as the party and its candidates move toward the 2027 election timetable.
