Kaduna State gubernatorial candidate Isa Mohammed Ashiru of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed concern over former Senator Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi's recent comments on the detention of former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Ashiru's spokesperson, Abdulwaheed Olayinka Adubi, stated that the ADC candidate found Hunkuyi's remarks unfortunate and unhelpful, as they could further exacerbate political tensions in Kaduna State.
Ashiru emphasized that the issue of El-Rufai's detention should be handled strictly according to the law and judicial procedures, rather than being framed as a political matter. He called for responsible leadership and constructive engagement from all political actors, particularly as the 2027 general elections approach. As a result of Hunkuyi's comment, Ashiru urged political leaders to refrain from making pronouncements that could potentially prejudge the situation or increase public tension, and instead focus on promoting peace, mutual respect, and political tolerance.
