Ashiru Denies Stepping Down from Kwara Governorship Race

Ashiru, a governorship aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, has officially denied circulating reports suggesting he is withdrawing from the 2027 governorship race. The clarification came through a statement issued by his legislative aide, Olaitan Adeyanju, made available to journalists in Ilorin, the state capital.

The statement emphasized that the claims of Ashiru stepping down are false and misleading, urging the public to disregard such reports. It highlighted that Ashiru is fully committed to contesting the governorship election and is actively engaging with stakeholders across the state.

The statement also warned against the spread of unverified information, particularly on social media, which could create confusion among supporters. Ashiru's camp continues to seek support from party members and the general public as he prepares for the upcoming elections.
