Uba Sani Promotes Unity in Kaduna with New Running Mate
The political dynamics in Kaduna State have transformed since the controversial Muslim-Muslim ticket introduced by former Governor Mallam Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai during the 2023 governorship election. El-Rufai's initiative aimed to assert Muslim dominance and was met with backlash from the Christian community.
Following his tenure, El-Rufai is now embroiled in legal issues related to corruption allegations and has fallen out with his successor, Senator Uba Sani. In a move towards inclusivity, Sani has nominated Comrade Jerry Adam, the former Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service, as his running mate for the upcoming governorship election.
This decision is seen as an effort to bridge gaps between ethnic and religious divides, contrasting El-Rufai's divisive approach. The Sani administration has been recognized for fostering unity, as evidenced by a meeting of Christian leaders from various local government areas, organized by the Tinubu-Uba Support Organisation, to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sani.
