The 23 local government chairmen in Kaduna state have passed a vote of confidence on Governor Uba Sani, dismissing recent criticisms against his administration as the “handiwork of political jobbers.”
In a statement signed and read by the Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Kaduna state chapter, Abubakar Jamilu Albani, the Council chiefs reaffirmed their loyalty to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani, commending the governor’s achievements in governance, security, and economic development.
“We, the 23 local government chairmen of Kaduna state, unequivocally acknowledge the strides recorded under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani. His administration has ensured accountability, transparency, and synergy across all tiers of government,” the statement read in part.
The chairmen described Uba Sani as a “unifying governor” who has fostered peace across religious, ethnic, and political divides in the state.
“He has provided an environment where all citizens can pursue their livelihoods without fear of intimidation or harassment. His administration has also been proactive in addressing security challenges through strategic and diplomatic interventions,” they added.
On job security, they noted that the governor had safeguarded the rights of public servants by ensuring employment stability and preventing arbitrary dismissals.
The chairmen urged critics of the governor to stop making statements capable of destabilising the state, warning that political stability should not be sacrificed for personal interests.
“As members of the APC, including those of us who worked closely with the previous administration, we believe true statesmanship requires supporting one’s successor and ensuring the smooth continuation of governance,” they said.
They called on political actors to uphold decorum and respect the leadership of Governor Uba Sani.
