What happened
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani urged support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid, stating that the North-West region had benefited significantly from the administration's interventions in agriculture, education, and youth empowerment. This call was made through a support group inaugurated in Kaduna, which included representatives from seven North-West states. Meanwhile, a crisis was reported within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) state chapter in Kaduna State, where aggrieved aspirants accused the party leadership and the state government of sidelining them after they had voluntarily withdrawn ambitions in 2023.
Why it matters
The developments highlight the ongoing political tensions between the ruling APC and the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State. While Uba Sani continues to represent the APC and the state government, the internal challenges faced by the party leadership regarding appointments and recognition remain a factor.
