President Tinubu; Gov Sani of Kaduna State
As the 2027 elections in the country begin to gather momentum, 255 local government councillors in Kaduna State have endorsed President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani for re-election in their respective positions for a second term.
The councillors stated that anyone considering a run for the presidency should be aware that there is currently no vacancy in the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Similarly, they advised those interested in the gubernatorial candidacy in Kaduna that there is no vacancy at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House.
Speaking on behalf of the 255 councillors after their one-day meeting in Kaduna on Thursday, spokesman Muhammad Sani Badikko, noted that their support for President Tinubu stems from the significant achievements of the APC-led government over the past year.
The president has made commendable progress in revitalizing the country?s ailing refineries and advancing the ongoing economic recovery under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Regarding Governor Uba Sani, Badikko highlighted the unprecedented infrastructural developments in rural areas, emphasizing that these improvements are unmatched in the state?s history.
Badikko scored the governor high on rural development, economic recovery, education, and healthcare intervention programs for growth and innovation.
The councillors pledged to mobilize grassroots support for the governor?s re-election in 2027, urging all political actors to sheath their swords and wait until after 2031. (Nigerian Tribune)
