Muhammad Sani Badiko representing the 255 councilors conveyed their endorsement of Governor Uba Sani, attributing it to the significant infrastructural advancements that he described as “unprecedented in the history of Kaduna state.” Alhaji Sadiq Mamman Lagos, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in Kaduna State, asserted that former Governor Nasir El-Rufai lacks the authority to determine the events of 2027, emphasizing that only God holds that power. He also criticized El-Rufai’s remarks regarding President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani. Furthermore, he advised El-Rufai to refrain from involvement in Kaduna, stating that “God will determine the outcomes of the Governorship and Presidential elections in 2027.”

Mamman Lagos spoke about the endorsement of President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani for a second term in 2027 by the 255 Councilors in Kaduna State. “It is essential to clarify that our esteemed and approachable Governor has never interfered with the operations of the state during the previous administration,” he stated. “His focus has been on initiating and passing legislation in partnership with fellow lawmakers in the Senate and engaging with his constituents to enhance the quality of life for the populace. We find no justification for him to be distracted at this time by an individual who believes he holds the power to influence the fate of others.”

Observe for yourselves the remarkable achievements of Governor Uba Sani in overturning nearly all the unpopular and detrimental policies implemented by his predecessor, who ascended to power through the support of the populace and the efforts of grassroots politicians like Uba Sani. Governor Sani has exceeded the expectations of even his critics, who recognize in him the leadership necessary at this juncture to unify the community and restore the state’s former prestige. His administration has made significant strides across various facets of governance to ensure success. Properties that were confiscated or demolished have been returned to their rightful owners, the exorbitant tuition fees imposed by the previous government have been rescinded, and traditional rulers who were dismissed have been reinstated to their positions.

Significant infrastructural advancements have been made across all three Senatorial Zones, dispelling the previous notion of the APC as a government representing only a specific segment of the population. We would like to take this opportunity to advise this individual and any associates he may have to refrain from making further inflammatory and baseless threats, as if he possesses the key to political success in the upcoming election. The electorate will ultimately determine their allegiance and can be counted on for his empathy and genuine concern for the populace, he stated. Earlier, the Councillors asserted that there will be no vacancies in the Presidential Villa in Abuja or the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House in Kaduna come 2027.

Muhammad Sani Badiko, representing the 255 councilors, spoke to the press regarding their endorsement of Governor Uba Sani, attributing it to the significant infrastructural advancements that are unparalleled in Kaduna state’s history. He stated, “We commend the Governor for his achievements in rural development, economic recovery, education, and healthcare initiatives that foster growth and innovation. We intend to rally grassroots support for the Governor’s reelection in 2027 and urge all political stakeholders to set aside their differences until after 2031.”
