Ashiru thanked his supporters and the people of Kaduna, urging them to remain law-abiding and avoid violence.
He stated that his quest to regain his mandate will remain steadfast until it reaches " its logical conclusion."
The PDP candidate said:
"I want to again thank the people of the state while urging them all to remain lawabiding while we pursue the appeal process.
"One thing I can assure the good people of Kaduna state is that I will pursue this mandate you freely gave me to its logical conclusion and, by the grace of God, victory on our side."
Tribunal sacks PDP lawmaker, declares APC winner
Meanwhile, the PDP lawmaker representing the Riyom state constituency in Plateau State, Timothy Dantong, has been sacked by the State House of Assembly election petition tribunal.
Dantong was sacked on the ground that the PDP needed structure as of the time he was nominated as the party's candidate for the March 18 election.
The court subsequently announced Moses Dachum of the APC as the election winner.
