The Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the Governor of Kaduna State, Hon. Victor Mathew Bobai, has described Governor Uba Sani as a divinely inspired leader whose humility, vision, and dedication to peace and development have repositioned Kaduna as a beacon of unity and progress in Northern Nigeria.

Bobai made this known in Kaduna, while addressing journalists at the commissioning of landmark projects executed by the administration of Governor Uba Sani by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was on a working visit to Kaduna State.

Tinubu, while speaking at Murtala Square in Kaduna, commended Governor Sani for what he described as outstanding performance. He referred to the governor as an agent of change, stability, love, unity, and progress. The president also described Kaduna as a model of peace and development for other Northern states.

During the visit, President Tinubu commissioned several people-oriented projects, including a 300-bed specialist hospital, 100 CNG-powered buses, newly constructed township roads, and vocational training centres located across various parts of the state.

Reacting to the development, Bobai noted that the overwhelming turnout and participation by citizens from diverse sectors of society were clear indicators of Governor Sani’s growing acceptance across party lines. He observed that civil servants, students, religious and traditional leaders, and development partners had all gathered in solidarity at the occasion.

He explained that what took place in Kaduna was more than just a state event. He described it as a national testimony to the transformation taking place under Governor Uba Sani’s leadership.

According to him, President Tinubu witnessed firsthand that Kaduna has evolved from a state once marked by tension into one now driven by productivity and peace. He attributed the transformation to the sincerity, compassion, and competence of Governor Sani.

Bobai dismissed claims by political opponents who, in his words, seek to distort the reality on ground. He stated that despite such efforts, the people of Kaduna understand the truth and stand firmly behind the administration because of its inclusive governance approach.

He further cited a biblical reference, saying that when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. He affirmed that Kaduna is currently rejoicing under the leadership of Uba Sani.

Bobai emphasized that Governor Sani is a leader who values results over rhetoric. He described the governor as one who constantly reminds his team that while progress is being made, there is always room for improvement. He revealed that the governor frequently urges his aides to remain focused and committed to fulfilling campaign promises.

According to Bobai, Kaduna residents will not forget the transformational strides being witnessed under Governor Sani. He listed the recovery of over 500,000 hectares of farmland, the reopening of previously shut schools and markets, the financial inclusion of 2.5 million unbanked citizens, and massive investments in critical sectors such as roads, education, and healthcare.

During the occasion, President Tinubu also conferred the national honour of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) on retired Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar. The president said the recognition was a correction of an earlier omission in his June 12 Democracy Day address.

President Tinubu reaffirmed the federal government’s commitment to supporting Kaduna’s growth and development. He pledged continued backing for strategic projects, including the Kaduna Light Rail initiative and other socio-economic reforms currently underway in the state.

The president declared that Kaduna is rising again and assured the people of continued collaboration to sustain the momentum of progress.

The event was attended by several dignitaries, including former Vice President Namadi Sambo, the Emir of Zazzau, Ambassador Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli, retired General Zamani Lekwot, and the governors of Lagos, Kwara, Ogun, Ekiti, Imo, Jigawa, among others.

Bobai concluded by calling on all citizens to remain united in support of Governor Uba Sani. He urged the people to reject all attempts by agents of confusion to sow division in the state.

He expressed personal pride in working with the governor and declared his belief that Uba Sani draws strength from divine guidance. Quoting Scripture, Bobai said a thousand may fall at one’s side and ten thousand at one’s right hand, but no harm shall come near. He expressed confidence that under the leadership of Uba Sani, the future of Kaduna State remains bright.
