Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has stated that by 2027, it will be difficult for any Nigerian governor to oppose President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Governor Sani made the remark during the opening of a two-day interactive session on government-citizen engagement, organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF), held at Arewa House in Kaduna.
According to the governor:
“No president in Nigeria’s history has supported governors and sub-national governments the way President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently doing. As a result, it is unlikely that any governor in Nigeria would go against the president.”
He also praised the federal government’s inclusive governance approach, highlighting its efforts to involve non-state actors in national development:
“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the government is engaging with non-state actors to discuss progress and assess the situation in northern Nigeria.
This unprecedented approach reflects a shift in how national issues are being addressed.”
The interactive session aims to strengthen citizen engagement and promote dialogue between government institutions and the public, especially on issues affecting northern Nigeria.
