Uba Sani Denies Rift with Nasir El-Rufai in Kaduna Politics
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has publicly dismissed allegations of a rift with his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai. During an interview with Trust TV, Sani clarified that he has no personal problems with El-Rufai, despite ongoing speculation about their relationship since Sani took office in May 2023.
He stated, “I have no problem with El-Rufai; I have never spoken against him,” and attributed the rumors to political jobbers seeking to create tension. Sani emphasized that his administration is focused on governance and addressing the needs of Kaduna residents rather than engaging in political disputes.
He expressed respect for El-Rufai as a former governor and political leader, urging the public to disregard reports of a personal battle between them. The speculation about their relationship intensified after Sani's administration raised concerns regarding financial obligations inherited from El-Rufai's government.
Sani reiterated that political differences should not distract from his administration's responsibilities.
