Governor Sani Hits by Wave of Resignations Ahead of 2027 Election

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna state is facing a wave of resignations from his cabinet ahead of the 2027 election, raising concerns about the stability of his administration. The latest resignation of Professor Muhammad Sani Bello, known as Mainan Zazzau, on July 29, 2025, has sparked political debate and speculation about potential fractures within the political camp.

Bello, who played a central role in securing electoral victory, reportedly felt sidelined in the administration. His departure, along with several other key officials, has led to a ripple effect within the government, including mass resignations in Kaduna North Local Government.
