Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, says no leader in Nigeria’s
history has supported subnational governments as much as President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC)
campaign flag-off in Kaduna, Sani said northern Nigeria will repay Tinubu for
his administration’s interventions in infrastructure, agriculture, education
and security by re-electing him in the 2027 elections.
“No leader in the history of Nigeria has supported
subnational governments as you have done, Mr president,” the governor said.
He urged voters to support continuity, describing Tinubu as
a promise-keeper whose administration has renewed hope among Nigerians.
Sani said Tinubu promised to reconstruct the 123-kilometre
Kaduna–Birnin Gwari road and address insecurity along the corridor, adding that
the president has released billions for the ongoing road project, and that
security has significantly improved in the area.
The governor said more than 300 schools and over 150 primary
healthcare centres closed because of insecurity before he assumed office have
reopened.
He cited the ongoing Zaria–Funtua–Gusau–Birnin Gwari road
project and the proposed Kaduna metropolitan rail project as evidence of
federal government support for the state.
On education and skills development, Sani said the
north-west benefited from N84 billion under the Nigerian Education Loan Fund
(NELFUND), which supported about 414,000 students, and that thousands in the
region have benefited from skills development programmes.
The governor took a swipe at opposition candidates,
challenging them to present verifiable records of their achievements, and added
that voters should judge candidates by performance rather than regional
identity.
He warned APC supporters to remain vigilant against what he
described as opposition campaigns relying on artificial intelligence-generated
content.
Sani assured Tinubu that the north would demonstrate
appreciation at the polls, citing the crowd’s reception of the president in
Kaduna as evidence of support.
