The gubernatorial candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Sen. Uba Sani, has promised to continue giving education priority if elected in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Sani, who said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led administration neglected public schools in the 16 years that the party was in power, pledged to continue from where Governor Nasir El-Rufai stopped, especially in revamping education, if elected as governor.
The senator said this at the flag off of the APC campaign rally in Giwa, Kaduna State on Tuesday.
The governorship candidate, who said Governor El-Rufai brought back the lost glory of public schools, stated: “My priority is to make quality education accessible to the siblings of the common man because that will guarantee them a better future and improve society at large.”

Sani further promised to empower religious leaders before the 2023 gubernatorial election in the state, adding that they play a vital role in the reformation of society.
The lawmaker thanked the people of Giwa Local Government Area for supporting the APC-led administration both at federal, state, and area council levels.
“The projects that have been executed in the local government wouldn’t have been possible without your support. I want you to continue supporting APC by voting our party at all levels in the coming election,” he added.
Speaking at the rally, Governor El-Rufai urged the people of Giwa to vote Senator Sani as his successor and Dr Hadiza Balarabe as his deputy because “they were part of the team that enabled the transformation of Kaduna state under my leadership.”
The governor also enjoined the people to vote Muhammad Sani Abdullahi as Senator representing zone two and Hon Bashir Zubairu as House of Representatives member, representing Giwa/Birnin Gwari constituency.
He also urged them to vote for the candidates of Giwa East and West state constituencies.
Earlier, the deputy governor commissioned an Obstetrics and Gynecology Center while El-Rufai commissioned a Neighborhood Sports Centre before the rally.
Senator Sani, El-Rufai, Balarabe, and other government officials also met with stakeholders, where they fielded questions and explained certain government policies.
