Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has expressed optimism that no governor would work against the reelection of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

He attributed his belief to the support the sub-national regions have received under the Tinubu administration.

According to him, no president in Nigeria’s history has given as much support to state governors and local government administrations as Mr Tinubu is doing.

Mr Sani made this known on Tuesday during the opening ceremony of a two-day conference organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation, SABMF, to strengthen engagement between government and citizens.

He said: ‘”No president in Nigeria has given governors and other sub-national leaders the kind of support that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is giving today.

“Therefore, as a politician who interacts closely with other governors across the country, I can say that it would be difficult for any governor in Nigeria to rise and challenge Tinubu’s leadership or work against his re-election ambition in 2027.”

the governor also commended the new political approach of President Tinubu’s administration, which he said involves engaging stakeholders outside of government in discussions about the development of the North and the country as a whole.

“This is the first time in Nigeria’s history that the federal government is inviting non-government stakeholders to discuss national and regional issues. This approach represents a meaningful shift in how the country’s challenges are being addressed,” he said.
