He explained that his political inspiration came from his long-standing association with Tinubu, whom he met in 1994, and from his close ties with Fawehinmi, under whose roof he once lived during the pro-democracy struggles of the 1990s.
Sani stressed that his administration will not be distracted by individual comments or political labels, noting that his focus remains on governance and improving the lives of people in Kaduna State.
Uba Sani previously served as El-Rufai’s political adviser between 2015 and 2019, before moving on to represent Kaduna Central in the Senate with El-Rufai’s support.
