Read Time:3 Minute, 5 Second
Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, said that President Bola Tinubu has helped Northern Nigeria more than any other leader before.He mentioned projects in infrastructure, agriculture, and healthcare as proof of the government‘s work for the area.
He also said that people in the North will support Tinubu when he runs again in 2027.
He believes the president will get even more votes from the region than he did in the 2023 election.
Sani made these comments during an interview on Televisiom on Tuesday.
He said, “Let me be very frank with you. When I talk, I talk based on data and statistics.President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today, I can tell you, he has done more than any leader for Northern Nigeria.”
“I can tell you categorically, no president has done to the North in terms of development as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done in the last three years. And I’m speaking on the basis of data and statistics,” he said.
Sani also rejected suggestions that Tinubu’s popularity had waned in the North.
“A lot of people have come here and told you the North will not vote for Asiwaju. That is a figment of their imagination,” he said.
“I can tell you categorically, I’m the Governor of Kaduna State and I can tell you, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will get more votes in 2027 than what he got.”
The governor attributed his optimism to what he described as landmark projects executed by the Federal Government in Kaduna and other parts of the North.
He cited the Abuja-Kaduna road project, saying work that had stalled for years was nearing completion under the Tinubu administration.
He said, “As we are speaking, and you should jot it down, this project will be commissioned, by God’s grace, November this year, because over N600 billion has already been paid to the contractor.
“I’m following the project personally… President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has already paid the contractors over N600 billion from about N750 billion of the project to complete the road by November.”
Sani also pointed to the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari road, which he said had been abandoned for more than two decades before funding was approved by the current administration.
“Only last three weeks, the President has paid part of the N178 billion to construct the road from Kaduna to Birnin Gwari, which was abandoned for over 25 years. And you tell me the people will not be happy?” he said.
The governor further praised the Federal Government’s support for agriculture, describing it as critical to Kaduna’s economy.
“Mr President has supported subnationals, including Kaduna State Government, in agriculture. Because for me, agriculture is the mainstay of our economy,” he said.
“I can tell you today, that is why we are the leading state in SAPZ (Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones) because of the intervention from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu… supporting us with a lot of fertiliser to give to the lower cadre of our farmers.”
He also listed the establishment of a Federal University of Science and Technology in southern Kaduna, the conversion of one of the state’s hospitals into a Federal Medical Centre, and the approval of a light rail project for Kaduna among the administration’s achievements.
“Only last month, the Federal Executive Council also approved N1 trillion, which I can tell you the project is about to start because feasibility studies have been done, money has been released for Kaduna Light Rail. It’s N1 trillion. Kaduna N1 trillion, Kano N1 trillion,” Sani said.
The governor maintained that the projects demonstrated the Federal Government’s commitment to improving livelihoods and infrastructure across Northern Nigeria.
