Breaking: APC Aspirant Dumps Kaduna South Senatorial Ambition For 2027

Joseph, also known as Hasken Southern Kaduna, further declared his support for the incumbent senator, Sunday Marshall Katung.

In a statement dated April 20, 2026, he said the decision followed wide consultations with family members, political allies, community leaders, and supporters across the district.

He explained that his withdrawal was aimed at promoting unity within the party and ensuring political stability in Southern Kaduna.

Joseph added that his decision was based on patriotism and political maturity, as well as the need to maintain cohesion within the APC.

“I have decided to step down from my aspiration under the platform of the APC and throw my full support behind the incumbent Distinguished Senator, Sunday Marshall Katung, in his quest for a second term,” he said.

He noted that his long-standing relationship with Katung, which spans over 30 years, was a major factor in his decision.

The APC chieftain also said his support for the incumbent would help strengthen ongoing development projects under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani.

He pointed to initiatives such as the proposed Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia and the Federal Medical Centre in Kafanchan as reasons for backing continuity in leadership.

Joseph expressed appreciation to his supporters across Southern Kaduna for their loyalty and encouragement over the years, while assuring them of his continued commitment to the region’s development despite stepping down.

He urged his supporters to align with his decision and back Senator Katung’s re-election bid, saying it would ensure stability and sustained progress in the senatorial district.

He also reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, pledging to remain active in the party and continue his humanitarian and philanthropic work across Southern Kaduna.
