Uba Sani

Uba Sani (born 31 December 1970) is a Nigerian engineer and politician who has served as governor of Kaduna State since 2023. Quotes From our statistics and data, we realized that we lost more lives as a result of the religious crises in Kaduna State, than even banditry. And that is the reason why we sat down and looked at the situation. I make bold to say that there has never been any incidence of ethno-religious crisis in Kaduna State since I became Governor on May 29, 2023, ‘’ he disclosed. What do we tell them? You have to relegate politics and focus on governance. When we came in, we said the issue of politics is over. We focused on governance; it has nothing to do with political affiliation, religious affiliation, or geography. Today, as we are speaking, we have reclaimed over 500,000 hectares of land that were abandoned because of insecurity. Now our farmers have gone back to their farms. When we came in, over 100 schools were abandoned in some front line local governments because of insecurity. As we are speaking, we have opened all our schools. Our primary health care facilities, more than 150 of them, were closed because of insecurity. Today, as we are speaking, all of them have been opened. And they are operational. Of course, we expect him to intervene. But people must understand he didn’t create the problem. People making noise are not governors. When I speak, I speak as a governor. Let each man speak for himself. I approached him when we needed to buy CNG buses. He supported us. That’s leadership. That’s why I praised him, and I will continue to praise him. In the history of Nigeria, no president has supported sub-nationals like President Tinubu. I am unapologetic I stand by my statement. Enough of calling billionaires to donate for book launches or build billion-naira mosques and churches. Let’s build schools. Let’s create skill-based education. That is the only way. You can build all the roads in the world, but if people live without dignity, the government has failed. Hunger is criminal. It must not be tolerated. Sardauna believed in oneness. He never divided us. This new generation must stop tribalism and get back to building institutions not empires. In India, one local government can have 50 industries. Why can’t we do that in northern Nigeria? I gave houses to victims of banditry not because I had excess money, but because it’s about humanity. Government must protect the dignity of its people. The governor has appointed people that worked for him in the last elections. Many were appointed into positions that people did not even know. The issue about the problems in the party, as far as I am concerned as a political adviser to the governor, I don’t think it is as bad as it has been put out by some people. I believe that in politics, there are bad times. El-Rufai was voted into power by the people who believe he has what it takes to make a difference in the state which had to do with removing the decay in the level of education, the terrible state of the health care systems, in short, improving the infrastructural development in the state which was in a bad shape compared to other states that where created long after Kaduna State was created. We believe we are doing our work to make the party even stronger than the way it was. Like I said, we do not have issues with any party member and that is our stand You see, people also fail to realise that there are no sentiments attached to the demolition of the house of that particular party leader.
