By; FUNMI ADERINTO, Kaduna

Kaduna State Commissioner of Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki has reacted to the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s victory in the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency describing it as “proof of Governor Uba Sani’s inclusive governance and people-centered policies.”

Maiyaki was responding to questions from newsmen after the announcement of election results of the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency as well as Zaria Kewaye and Basawa State Assembly Constituencies.

He said the result reflects the trust communities in Kaduna now repose in the leadership of Gov Uba Sani and the ruling party, noting that the triumph was both “historic and symbolic,” representing the breaking of a long-standing jinx in a constituency that had consistently resisted APC’s advances.

He explained that with this breakthrough, the party has consolidated its hold on Kaduna State, stretching its dominance into territories once seen as opposition fortresses.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the APC polled 34,580 votes to decisively defeat its rivals. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), once regarded as unrivaleded force in Chikun and Kajuru, managed only 11,491 votes, while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) secured 3,477 votes. The Social Democratic Party (SDP) trailed far behind with just 142 votes.

Maiyaki attributed the landslide victories to Governor Uba Sani’s grassroots-focused leadership, which has delivered tangible results through road infrastructure, healthcare renewal, education reforms, and security interventions — policies that resonated strongly with voters and paved the way for the sweeping victory.

“The people of Chikun and Kajuru as well as Zaria Kewaye and Basawa State Assembly Constituencies have spoken loud and clear — they want progressive leadership, not recycled promises. They trust Gov Uba Sani’s leadership style of inclusivity” Maiyaki declared amid widespread jubilations following the announcement of results.

With 34,580 votes in Chikun and Kajuru standing far ahead of the opposition’s combined tally, Maiyaki stressed that the APC has not only broken new ground but also cemented its status as the dominant political force in Kaduna State. He added that the momentum from this landmark victory positions the party on a solid pedestal ahead of 2027.

For the APC family, Maiyaki concluded, the message is unmistakable: Chikun and Kajuru are no longer opposition enclaves, but part of the consolidated strongholds of a party whose grip on Kaduna’s future is growing firmer by the day.
