UBA WILL NEVER WALK ALONE: Why Kaduna Stands Unbroken with Senator Uba Sani Ahead of 2027

By Hon. Ben SD Kure, Honorable Commissioner for Sports Development, Kaduna State

Leadership is not measured merely by the number of years spent in office, but by the lives touched, communities transformed, divisions healed, and hope restored. By these enduring measures, His Excellency, Senator Uba Sani, Executive Governor of Kaduna State, has distinguished himself as a leader of courage, compassion, and uncommon political wisdom.

When Governor Uba Sani assumed office, he inherited a state navigating unprecedented economic pressures, infrastructural deficits, and years of painful ethno-religious mistrust. Rather than complain, apportion blame, or govern from an ivory tower, he accepted total responsibility and went straight to work. Through his pioneering Kaduna Peace Model—a non-kinetic, inclusive security framework—he restored dialogue, rebuilt inter-communal trust, and forged robust working relationships between grassroots leaders and security agencies. Communities once deserted are now vibrant hubs of economic activity. Farmers have safely returned to their fields. Recognizing this monumental effort, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu publicly commended Governor Uba Sani for turning Kaduna into a national model of peace, stability, love, and unity.

Governor Uba Sani’s administration has consistently proven that true democratic governance must not be restricted to urban centers or privileged political elites. Through a relentless Rural Transformation Agenda, his administration is delivering roads, healthcare, schools, and civic infrastructure directly to previously neglected communities across all 23 Local Government Areas.

The governance impact spans every major sector:

In Healthcare Delivery, the administration completed and commissioned the 300-bed Bola Ahmed Tinubu Specialist Hospital, upgraded 255 Primary Healthcare Centres to Level II status, and renovated the KADHSMA Warehouse to a pharma-grade storage facility.

In Education and Out-of-School Children Rescue, the state allocated over 25% of its total budget to Education for three consecutive years, enrolled over 100,000 out-of-school children back into formal study, constructed or rehabilitated 3,267 classrooms, built 62 new secondary schools, and slashed tuition fees in state tertiary institutions by 50%. https://www.thisdaylive.com/2026/09/20/appraising-uba-sanis-bold-rescue-of-kadunas-out-of-school-children/?utm_source=gemini#:~:text=That%20seriousness%20is%20visible%20first%20in%20the,cent%20of%20the%20N985.9%20billion%202026%20budget.

In Agricultural Revitalization, the administration boosted the Agricultural Budget allocation to ₦74.2 Billion, distributed 400 trucks of fertilizer free of charge to 100,000 smallholder farmers, and provided solar irrigation pumps, motorized tillers, and crop risk insurance.

In Roads and Infrastructure, the governor awarded 82 road projects spanning rural and urban networks, rolled out 100 CNG Buses for affordable mass transit, and injected over $25 Million to boost state water scheme operational capacity from under 5% to over 30%.

In Sports and Youth Empowerment, the ongoing reconstruction of Ahmadu Bello Stadium into a 32,000-seat world-class arena, alongside upgrades to the Uba Sani Township Stadium and state-of-the-art vocational institutes, is turning Kaduna into a premier regional hub for youth productivity.

Under Governor Uba Sani, transparency and financial prudence are not political buzzwords—they are measurable, institutional policy pillars. His administration successfully repaid over ₦90 Billion in inherited debt without taking on new commercial loans, keeping the state solvent and financially stable. According to the Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Public Integrity, Kaduna State emerged as Number 1 in Nigeria on the Transparency and Integrity Index for two consecutive years, alongside earning a 4-Star Excellence Rating from Phillips Consulting for revenue efficiency and social safety net deployments.

The youth represent the beating heart of Kaduna State. Through the establishment of modern skills acquisition hubs—such as the Institute of Vocational Training and Skills Development in Rigachikun—the state is systematically replacing dependency with productivity. In the sports sector, athletic development is being harnessed as a multi-billion Naira engine for social stability and economic growth. Rebuilding the iconic Ahmadu Bello Stadium into a world-class sporting complex complete with integrated broadcast hubs and athlete accommodation, while funding grassroots youth sports stipends, rapidly secures Kaduna’s place as the sports capital of Nigeria. Furthermore, through targeted gender inclusion initiatives like the ₦5 Billion Women Economic Empowerment Fund and the Arewa Ladies-4-Tech AI Initiative, women are taking center stage in local commerce, technology, and governance.

As 2027 approaches, the choice before every patriotic resident of Kaduna State is crystal clear. It is not a mere partisan contest; it is a choice between tested, inclusive progress and divisive, uncertain political experimentation. Kaduna cannot afford to interrupt this momentum. The gains achieved in security and community harmony must be shielded. The thousands of rescued out-of-school children must complete their education. The expanded healthcare and rural road networks must reach full completion across all wards.

Governor Uba Sani will never walk alone because the living evidence of his governance walks before him. Every rehabilitated road speaks for his vision. Every revitalized primary health center testifies to his care. Every empowered youth and athlete tells the story of opportunity. Every supported farmer holding free fertilizer remembers his compassion. Every student returning to a rehabilitated school bears witness. Every community enjoying renewed peace stands firmly by his side.

From Kaduna North to Kaduna Central and Kaduna South, an unstoppable movement is rising—a movement of ordinary citizens who choose unity over division, competence over rhetoric, and progress over stagnation. The coalition standing with him includes farmers supported by agricultural inputs, youths and students enjoying subsidized fees, women entrepreneurs backed by empowerment grants, traditional and religious leaders united under the Kaduna Peace Model, civil servants benefiting from minimum wage increases, and young athletes inspired by world-class sports infrastructure.

Our message must now resonate across every Local Government Area, every ward, every village, and every single polling unit: Governor Uba Sani stood with the people during their most difficult moments; the people will stand with him in 2027. Together, we shall consolidate the gains of peace, accelerate rural transformation, and secure a prosperous, united, and unstoppable Kaduna State. UBA WILL NEVER WALK ALONE — BECAUSE KADUNA STANDS FULLY WITH HIM! https://businessday.ng/life/article/uba-sanis-running-mate-choice-reshapes-kadunas-2027-political-equation-raises-religious-debate/?utm_source=gemini#:~:text=Governor%20Uba%20Sani’s%20decision%20to%20nominate%20Jerry,4%20min%20read.%20Listen%20to%20this%20article.
