Road to 2023: Kantigi debunks rumours of withdrawal from Niger gubernatorial race
The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 general elections, Alhaji Isah Liman Kantigi, has debunked the rumour that he has withdrawn from the gubernatorial race in the state, describing such rumours as “fake news”.
Alhaji Kantigi said the rumour is baseless, wicked and political propaganda by his opponents who are already jittery about his growing popularity among the electorates to damping their morale.
The PDP Candidate in a statement in Minna by the Director-General of Kantigi movement 2023, Alhaji Abdullahi Kwatu Paiko, said the rumours are not only unfounded but a continuation of the character assassination by some desperate politicians who before the PDP primary election, wrote over 20 petitions against the Candidate to the screening committee in Abuja.
“I want to state categorically that Alhaji Isah Liman Kantigi is still very much in the race for the number one position in the state come 2023, he has not withdrawn from the governorship race, and he has no intention to do so.
“This is not the first time we are witnessing such rumour and blackmail even after the primary election that the candidate was declared the winner. (Saturday Sun)
