Uba Sani Names Jerry Adams as Running Mate for 2027

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has appointed Jerry Adams, the Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election. This decision followed extensive consultations across various segments of the state and aims to promote inclusion, fairness, and balanced representation in Kaduna's political landscape.

Adams, a native of Southern Kaduna, has been in his role since 2023, overseeing tax administration and revenue reforms. Governor Sani praised Adams as a competent public servant whose expertise in public finance and administration would enhance the administration's development agenda.

The nomination signifies the administration's commitment to merit and equitable representation. Notably, this decision means that the current Deputy Governor, Dr.

Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, who has served since 2019, will not be returning for the 2027 ticket due to constitutional term limits. Adams is recognized for his achievements in improving revenue collection and expanding the state's tax base.
