Kaduna state Governor, Senator Uba Sani, has said the people of Northern Nigeria will repay President Bola Tinubu for his administration’s interventions in the region, citing infrastructure development, security, education and agriculture.
Sani spoke on Saturday at the APC presidential campaign flag-off rally at Ranchers Stadium, Kaduna, where he commended Tinubu for what he described as progress in addressing challenges facing Kaduna State and the wider North.
The governor recalled Tinubu’s visit to Birnin Gwari during the 2022 presidential campaign, when the area was grappling with insecurity, saying the President had fulfilled promises on road construction and security. He cited the ongoing reconstruction of the Zaria–Funtua–Gusau–Sokoto road and improvements in security in Birnin Gwari.
Sani also listed the reopening of more than 300 schools and over 150 primary healthcare centres previously shut because of insecurity as achievements of his administration, alongside federal interventions. He further commended the ongoing Abuja–Kaduna expressway reconstruction, saying about 95 per cent of the project had been completed.
On education, the governor said the North-West had benefited from about N250bn in student loans, supporting lots of students. He also cited federal support for young people and artisans as part of efforts to improve livelihoods in the region.
The governor said the interventions had provided reasons for the North to appreciate Tinubu’s leadership, adding that the region’s support should be based on the administration’s record rather than regional or political sentiment alone.
Sani also warned the APC against underestimating opposition campaigns, saying political opponents had moved beyond Facebook and X to using artificial intelligence.
He urged party members to remain vigilant against what he described as campaigns lacking substantive ideas.
He assured Tinubu of continued support from the North, saying the region would judge the President by his record and the impact of his administration’s policies and projects.
