One of the aspirants contesting for the Kano State House of Assembly seat representing Tarauni Local Government Area under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Isa Adamu Bashir, popularly known as Isa Jaa, has denied claims that he stepped down from the race in favour of another aspirant.
The clarification followed reports that Hon. Kabiru Dahiru Sule (ADS) allegedly listed Isa Jaa among aspirants who had withdrawn from the contest in the interest of party unity.
However, in a statement issued on Tuesday, Isa Jaa insisted that he remains firmly in the race, stressing that he has neither withdrawn from the contest nor held any discussion with anyone regarding stepping down.
“As of this moment, I have not withdrawn from the contest, and no one has contacted me for any reconciliation meeting or discussion aimed at persuading me to abandon my ambition,” he stated.
He also dismissed claims that he stepped down in support of Hon. Kabiru Dahiru Sule (ADS), describing the report as false and misleading.

“I saw the statement issued by Hon. Kabiru Dahiru Sule (ADS) in which he mentioned my name among those who allegedly stepped down for him in the interest of party unity. I want to inform the people of Tarauni that I have not withdrawn from the race, and nobody has contacted me or held any discussion with me regarding such a matter,” he added.
Isa Jaa reaffirmed his determination to continue with the contest, noting that he remains focused on engaging constituents and seeking their support ahead of the party’s primary election.
He also urged his supporters to remain calm, steadfast and law-abiding, assuring them that any political decision he takes would be guided by sincerity and the wishes of the people.
While expressing respect for party leaders and political stakeholders in Tarauni politics, the aspirant called on politicians to always verify information before making public statements in order to avoid unnecessary confusion among supporters and party members.
