2027: Kaduna LG chairmen back Tinubu, Gov Sani for second term

The chairmen of Kaduna State’s 23 local governments have passed a vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani, dismissing recent criticisms by opposition elements against them as the handiwork of failed politicians.

Addressing Journalists at a conference in Kaduna, the Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Kaduna State chapter, Jamilu Albani, the council chiefs reaffirmed their loyalty to President Tinubu and Governor Sani while commending their achievements in governance, security, and economic development.

“We, the 23 Local Government Chairmen of Kaduna State, unequivocally acknowledge the strides recorded under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani. His administration has ensured accountability, transparency, and synergy across all tiers of government,” they said.

Besides, the council chairmen described Sani as a “unifying governor” who has fostered peace across religious, ethnic, and political divides in the state.

“He has provided an environment where all citizens can pursue their livelihoods without fear of intimidation or harassment. His administration has also been proactive in addressing security challenges through strategic and diplomatic interventions,” they added.

On job security, they noted that the governor had safeguarded the rights of public servants by ensuring employment stability and preventing arbitrary dismissals.

“Unlike in the past, civil servants in Kaduna can now work without fear of sudden retrenchment. This has boosted morale in the public sector,” the chairmen stated.

They also highlighted his administration’s efforts in rural development, economic growth, and financial inclusion, saying:

“over two million new accounts have been opened for underserved and vulnerable persons under Governor Uba Sani’s watch, just as is administration has also invested in agricultural initiatives, healthcare, and education, improving the lives of rural dwellers.”

Albani also urged critics of the governor to stop making statements capable of destabilising Kaduna State, warning that political stability should not be sacrificed for personal interests.

“As members of the APC, including those of us who worked closely with the previous administration, we believe true statesmanship requires supporting one’s successor and ensuring the smooth continuation of governance,” he said.

Albani called on political actors in the state to uphold decorum and respect the leadership of Governor Sani.

“In the interest of stability and good governance, we strongly urge these political merchants to refrain from unguarded statements that could destabilize Kaduna and Nigeria as a whole,” they added.
