A Coalition of Civil Society Groups has called on residents of Kaduna state to vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Senator Uba Sani, during the March 11, 2023 guber elections for his impressive records.
Addressing a press briefing in Kaduna on Saturday, representative of the Group, Dr Abdullahi Abubakar Gwandu, of Kaduna Polytechnics said Uba Sani’s track records as a Senator in the National Assembly and as special adviser to former president Olusegun Obasanjo and Governor Nasir el-Rufai have shown that if voted to power, he will take Kaduna state to glory.
According to the Civil Society Coalition, “We call on the people of Kaduna state to vote Senator Uba Sani as the Governor in the next election to sustain the bar of governance as currently raised and ensure Kaduna state in reality reflects its position as not just the headquarter of Northern Nigeria, but a mini Nigeria where everyone would be proud to associate with.
“For anyone who knew Kaduna before 2015, in the last seven years plus, the Crocodile City and Centre of Learning has undergone and still undergoing transformation in various sectors. There is competing needs in the face of scarce resources, but there is no gainsaying that the incumbent government has raised the bar of governance in the state.
“Senator Uba Sani, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has been, and remains part of that transformation. Before his election as Senator representing Kaduna Central at the 9th National Assembly, he was the political adviser to Governor el-Rufai in his first four years where the foundation works for the transformation of the state as currently seen was laid.
“Senator Uba Sani was Special Adviser Public Affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo when el-Rufai was the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Though not new to administration, as a trained engineer, but since his election as a Senator, Uba Sani has sponsored many groundbreaking bills. This is unprecedented for a first time Senator.
“His position as the Senate Committee Chairman on Banking, Insurance and Allied Matters has seen him aiding financial availability to the state which has helped in the transformation. Uba Sani has also quietly aided many indigent individuals, groups and even students within his constituency and beyond. Most of these he did and still doing quietly without any frenzy.
“To sustain the good works in Kaduna state, unite the people for growth, development, security and peace, Uba Sani resolved not only to pick and sustained the position of his deputy in Southern Kaduna, but also ensure the deputy is a female for gender balance and to carry the women along. For these reasons and more, we should vote for Uba Sani in the 2023 general elections which will be a watershed in our history, in Kaduna state.”
