Governor Uba Sani has pledged that Kaduna State will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election because of the dividends of democracy he has brought to the state and the country at large.
The governor, who listed projects executed by the federal government and those it has attracted to Kaduna State, spoke on Sunday during a stakeholders’ engagement on the ongoing e-registration of APC members across the country.
Addressing Zone 2 stakeholders, Governor Uba Sani said Kaduna State is targeting 2.5 million members in the ongoing exercise because the APC is now the dominant party in the state.
The governor argued that his inclusive development model, which spreads projects across the state, and President Tinubu’s projects in Kaduna State, have led opposition members to defect to the APC in large numbers.
According to Governor Uba Sani, the president has supported the Kaduna State Light Rail project to the tune of N1 billion, which he described as unprecedented in northern Nigeria.
He maintained that no other subnational has enjoyed this kind of support, apart from Lagos State, for the execution of the Light Rail Project in the whole of Nigeria.
‘’Only three weeks ago, I was in China, in the company of the Director General of Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership, at the instance of President Bola Tinubu, who has also decided that Kaduna State would be the pilot state to embark on a major poultry project.
‘’The project will generate at least 350,000 jobs. The federal government has already approved $200 million for it, and Kaduna State will host the largest poultry project in sub-Saharan Africa.”
