Kaduna State Government Denies N2.3tn APC Rally Spending Claim

The Kaduna State Government has dismissed a viral letter alleging that Governor Uba Sani approved N2.3 trillion for the APC presidential campaign flag-off as fabricated and misleading. The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, stated that the letter, dated October 18, 2026, contained inconsistencies that undermined its authenticity.

It falsely claimed that N2.3 trillion was released for the campaign, which is more than twice the state’s 2026 budget of N985.92 billion. Maiyaki pointed out irregularities, including a misspelling of the governor's surname and unauthorized reproduction of his signature.

He emphasized that Governor Sani neither authored nor authorized the letter and that no such funds were budgeted or released. The government expressed concern over misinformation aimed at discrediting the governor ahead of the 2027 elections and warned that fabricating official correspondence could lead to criminal charges.

Maiyaki urged media and the public to verify documents before circulation.
