PRP candidate concedes defeat, shifts attention to youth empowerment
The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) candidate for the Kaduna state House of Assembly, Alhaji Fahad Ahmed-Chikaji on Sunday conceded defeat and congratulated the winner of the election, Aminu Shagali, the current speaker of the assembly.
Fahad-Chikaji, who contested in the election to represent Sabongari constituency, stated this in an interview in Zaria. He said the decision to accept defeat was informed by his desire to exhibit the spirit of sportsmanship and for peace to prevail.
“I want to use this medium to first of all thank my creator; there is no one worthy of adoration except Allah (SWT) who is the supreme architect of the universe and earth.
“He knows what is best for me and the people of Sabongari. Therefore, my humble self, my family and my campaign team have decided to uphold the outcome of the just concluded state assembly election.
“May God Almighty make it the best for the people of Sabongari in particular and Kaduna state at large. Therefore, I wish to congratulate the winner and Speaker, Kaduna state House of Assembly, Aminu Abdullahi Shagali for the victory.”
Fahad-Chikaji said now that the election was over, he would focus on youth empowerment.
“Now that the election is over, I will continue with my normal business of youth empowerment, training, sensitization and enlightenment on drug abuse and other social vices.
“I want a situation where our youths will be trained in different skills to enable them become employers of labour instead of waiting for white collar jobs, which is very rare to come by,” he noted.
The PRP candidate appreciated the entire people of the constituency for their resilience, determination, courage and their coming out en masse to exercise their franchise and urged them to sustain the tempo.
