2027: North will repay you with votes, Uba Sani tells Tinubu

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.

Sani spoke on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign flag-off rally at Ranchers Stadium, Kaduna.

The governor recalled Tinubu’s visit to Birnin Gwari during the last general election presidential campaign, saying the president had fulfilled his 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 reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna expressway, saying about 95 per cent of the project had been completed.

On education, he said the North-West had benefited from about N250 billion in student loans, supporting many 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 given the North reasons 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 the use of 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.
