Yerima Shettima, a former aspirant for the Kaduna Central senatorial seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has withdrawn from the race. He announced his decision and pledged support for all APC candidates ahead of the forthcoming general election.
In a statement, Shettima cited the need for party unity as the reason for his withdrawal. He urged his supporters to rally behind the APC's chosen candidates to ensure victory for the party.
Shettima's withdrawal reduces the number of aspirants vying for the APC ticket in Kaduna Central. The party is expected to conduct primaries to select its candidate for the senatorial election.
