2023: Senator Uba Sani Joins Kaduna Governorship Race
The Senator
representing Kaduna Central Uba Sani has declared his interest in becoming the
next Kaduna State Governor.
The Senator
made his intention known on Tuesday during a visit to the All Progressive Congress
(APC) state secretariat.
Speaking
during the visit, Senator Sani said he is in the secretariat to seek the
support of the party for his gubernatorial ambition.
He also
praised the efforts of Governor Nasir El-Rufai in repositioning the state.
“I came to
inform you of my intention to contest for the governorship seat under the APC.
I also need your support to achieve this aim,” he said.
Senator Sani
is one of those in the ‘core team’ of Governor El-Rufai from where he stated
the likely successor to become the next state governor will emerge.
During a
recent interview with Channels TV, Governor El-Rufai stated that he prefers
someone from the ‘core team’ to take over from him as State Governor in 2023.
Though he
denied anointing any particular person, El-Rufai said despite having a personal
preference, it’s not solely up to him to choose his successor.
He explained
further that he would prefer someone from the ‘core team’ because this
represents a group of people who have been working with him since 2014 and
understand the plans of policies of government hence, continuity would not be a
challenge.
Governor
El-Rufai stated that the leadership in Kaduna State will continue to discuss
and rub minds with stakeholders to ensure a worthy successor emerges in 2023.
