For savvy watchers of events in Kaduna State and the country at large, it was unmistakably a political show of force of some sort on Saturday, February 15, 2025. No, Governor Uba Sani did not set out to campaign or canvass for votes, at least not yet. It was just the grand finale of series of stakeholders’ meetings of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) across the three Senatorial Zones of Kaduna State.
Reputed for his inclusive, participatory and open governance style, Governor Sani had earlier held well-attended stakeholders’ meetings in both Kaduna North Senatorial District (Zone 1) and Kaduna South Senatorial District (Zone 3). The final interface and rally were reserved for Kaduna Central Senatorial District (Zone 2). At this grand finale, the strength and dominance of the APC in Kaduna State, under the leadership of Governor Sani, were in full display at the sprawling Murtala Square – the event’s venue. The rally actually triggered a political earthquake of immense proportion.
