95% of Kaduna votes will go to APC, Uba Sani tells Tinubu

Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, has promised President Bola Tinubu that the state will deliver 95 percent of votes to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general election.

Sani spoke on Saturday at a mega rally held at the Murtala Square in Kaduna, where four members of the state house of assembly, five house of representatives lawmakers, and thousands of their supporters defected to the APC.

The defections bring the party’s representation in the house of representatives from Kaduna to 13, leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with three. In the state assembly, the APC now has 26 members against PDP’s eight.

“We don’t have any opposition in Kaduna,” Sani said.

“I promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu some months ago that we were looking at 80 percent of the votes.

“But today, I have shifted my ground; about 95 percent of the total votes in Kaduna state will go to APC in 2027.”
