Kaduna LG chair: Uba Sani, best candidate to succeed El-Rufai

The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Kaduna State, Sen. Uba Sani, has been described as the best person to succeed the state governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

The Chairman of Kudan Local Government in Kaduna State, Shuaibu Jaja, said this at the APC’s campaign rally on Thursday, stressing that Sani has all the qualities of a leader.

Kudan is the local government of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Isa Ashiru.

Jaja noted that politics has now changed and the people have to change with it, adding that they should elect a leader who is capable and has vast experience and leadership qualities.

He said: “A leader should one that can save his people and salvage their dignity. If a candidate does not have capacity, whether he is your brother, or he is from your hometown, he is not fit to lead.

“We have agreed that in the entire Kaduna State, there is no candidate that is equal to our party’s candidate, Malam Uba Sani, in terms of versatility.

“For this reason, we are pleading with you, the good people of Kudan local government, we should join hands and ensure that on election day, we vote for APC from top to bottom.

“We should vote for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as president, we should vote Senator Uba Sani as governor and re-elect Senator Suleiman Abdu Kwari. Let’s vote Muktar Ladan and Faisal Abbas Likoro for House of Representatives and House of Assembly respectively.”

Jaja, who said Sani established a computer complex at Kudan LGA, promised that the local government will give APC the highest number of votes in the 2023 general election.

Earlier, Sani, while speaking at a town hall meeting, promised that his administration’s decisions will reflect the wishes of the people and not that of the government officials, stressing that community engagement is one of the pillars of his manifesto.

The governorship candidate, who commended Jaj for implementing people-oriented projects in Kudan LGA, said this would not have been possible under a PDP-led government “because the previous administration was profligate in governance”.

The lawmaker, however, urged the people of Kaduna State to vote for the APC to ensure continuity and sustain the good programmes and policies of El-Rufai’s administration, promising to continue from where the governor stops.
