Uba Sani delivers with quiet efficiency,argues LADI OGUNDELE
The governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, has remained consistently in the news, and always for the right reasons. A seasoned human rights crusader who spent decades fighting for the liberation of the people and advancing progressive causes, he has carried that same philosophy into government. To him, power is not a weapon for intimidation or self aggrandizement, but a sacred tool to provide a better life for the citizenry. This ethos runs through every strand of his administration since assuming office as the chief executive of one of Nigeria’s most influential northern states.
Uba Sani quickly set himself apart as a calm, level-headed, and inclusive leader, one whose humility and pragmatism have struck a chord with the people. Today, two years into his tenure, Governor Sani’s exemplary governance is being hailed as decidedly different. Governor Uba Sani’s leadership temperament contrasts sharply with the combative and often abrasive style that came to define El-Rufai’s time in power. Sani has cultivated a reputation for calmness, humility, and approachability. This change in tone is not cosmetic. It has reshaped the atmosphere of governance in Kaduna.
