Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani on Tuesday declared that the 2027 presidential election is “already concluded” and vowed to deliver at least 95 percent of the state’s votes to President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking at the flag-off of the 122-kilometre Kaduna–Birnin Gwari Road project, Sani praised Tinubu for what he called unprecedented investment in Northern Nigeria and said Kaduna remains the political and economic heart of the region.
“I want to assure you Kaduna is the capital of Northern Nigeria. Everyone is proud of Kaduna. Kaduna’s development is the development for all the states of Northern Nigeria, whether we like it or not,” he said, thanking the president for recognising the state’s strategic importance.
Sani pledged continued political support for Tinubu and predicted a resounding victory in Kaduna for the president. “I have no doubt in my mind 2027 election has been concluded. I have no doubt in my mind, we are giving Mr President at least 95% of the total votes. There’s no doubt about that and I stand to be challenged,” he declared.
He reiterated a claim he made two months ago that no previous Nigerian president had undertaken as many development projects in the North as Tinubu. Sani said ongoing projects across the region demonstrate the president’s commitment and questioned why earlier administrations had not made similar interventions.
“Why was it that other leaders did not do what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing today for Northern Nigeria? Was it that Northern Nigeria was not a priority, or that was not their concern?” he asked, concluding by thanking the president “for the love of the North, for the love for humanity, for the love for progress.”
