Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has expressed confidence that no governor in Nigeria would oppose President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Gatekeepers News reports that Sani made this assertion at the opening of a two-day interactive session on government-citizen engagement organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF) at Arewa House, Kaduna.
According to Sani, Tinubu’s unprecedented support for governors and sub-national governments makes it unlikely for any governor to go against him.
“No president in Nigeria’s history has supported governors and sub-national governments the way President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently doing,” the governor said.
“As a result, it is unlikely that any governor in Nigeria would go against the president.”
Sani also highlighted the federal government’s efforts to engage non-state actors in the north, describing it as a shift in how national issues are being addressed.
“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the government is engaging with non-state actors to discuss progress and assess the situation in northern Nigeria,” he said.
The event, themed “Assessing Electoral Promises: Fostering Government-Citizen Engagement for National Unity,” was attended by Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State, who represented President Tinubu, and Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris.
The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation is a non-political and non-religious organisation established in 2009 to honour the legacy of the late premier of northern Nigeria, Sir Ahmadu Bello.
