Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna state, says it will be difficult for any governor in Nigeria to oppose President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
Sani spoke at the opening of a two-day interactive session
on government-citizen engagement organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial
Foundation (SABMF) at Arewa House, Kaduna.
“Moreover, no president in Nigeria’s history has supported
governors and sub-national governments the way President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is
currently doing,” the governor said.
“As a result, it is unlikely that any governor in Nigeria
would go against the president.”
Sani said the federal government is also taking steps in
engaging non-state actors in the north.
“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the government is
engaging with non-state actors to discuss progress and assess the situation in
northern Nigeria,” he said.
“This unprecedented approach reflects a shift in how
national issues are being addressed.”
The event is themed ‘Assessing Electoral Promises: Fostering
Government-Citizen Engagement for National Unity’.
Tinubu was represented by Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, governor
of Kwara, and Mohammed Idris, minister of information and national orientation.
SABMF, a non-political and non-religious organisation, was
founded in 2009 to honour the legacy of Sir Ahmadu Bello, the late premier of
northern Nigeria.
