North will never Forget Tinubu’s Unprecedented, Legacy Projects – Uba Sani
The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has said that no Nigerian leader has favoured the Northern part of the country as much as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He also said that considering the landmark achievements he has recorded over the last three years on infrastructure, no candidate can come close to defeating him in the North in 2027.
Governor Sani equally expressed confidence that President Tinubu will easily secure at least 70 per cent of the votes in his state during the 2027 presidential elections, declaring Kaduna a “totally APC state.”
He spoke while hosting members of the presidential media team and selected journalists to a state banquet in Kaduna.
The media aides and journalists are on a tour of the northwest states to ascertain President Tinubu’s projects as well as that of the respective governors.
“If an election is conducted on all the social media platforms, President Tinubu will not win, but the outcome will definitely be different in an actual physical voting. President Tinubu will definitely record an overwhelming victory across the country,” he said.
While emphasising that there is no significant opposition to the president or the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Governor Sani argued that ongoing federal interventions and development projects will aid his victory.
“President Tinubu has done so much for the North, and I can boldly say that his administration has delivered more for Northern Nigeria than any previous government. The evidence is visible enough for everyone to see. One of them is the recent approval of major rail and road projects worth billions of Naira in Kaduna State. The projects are expected to boost infrastructure and drive economic growth in the region upon completion,” he noted.
“The increase in financial allocations to sub-national governments has enabled states to extend development to the grassroots and communities. Improved collaboration between the federal and state governments has enhanced governance and service delivery and contributes to public support for the President,” he noted.
“Also today, another project was approved for Kano state, almost 1 trillion naira. That is the story people are talking about. So for me, no President has supported the North more than President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. No one would ever have done what he has done in less than three years now. And that is the reason why I cannot see any zone, not even the southwest, coming out to vote for him as much as the North.
“There is no opposition in Kaduna against President Tinubu in 2027. We make no apologies for that; given his support to the state and its people, I can boldly say that victory is assured because Kaduna is an APC state, he said.
The governor also reflected on Tinubu’s political history, describing him as “a committed democrat and long-time activist,” while criticising opposition figures whom he accused of attempting to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process.
“Some of us are fighting to defend democracy, fighting to ensure that this democracy is sustained simply because a lot of people lost their lives, lost their freedom in the battle. In particular, someone that has really taken his time, made all the sacrifices supporting most of us in the civil rights movement, was our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He was there with us, supporting democracy. Not only that, even after the 1999 election, when he became the governor of Lagos state, he continued to ensure that democracy was entrenched.
“That is the fact of the matter. It’s not about social media, it’s about working on the ground for the masses of our people.
“And I am calling for the Nigerians to be careful. We must develop our democracy. We must ensure that this democracy is sustained. Those who are talking about the military are doing so because they have never been in detention,” he said.
