kaduna 2023 governatorial election was better than past elections were “largely peaceful” but equally has glitches, violence can never be an option to show grievances, but rather candidates and their parties should seek legal redress as provider under Nigeria’s law.
it is undisputable fact Uba Sani won the election, and he was declared winner.

Sen. Uba Sani is the best person for the position.
“The 2023 election was Africa’s largest democratic exercise. In a region that has undergone backsliding and military coups in recent years, this election demonstrates democracy’s continued relevance and capability to deliver for the people it serves.
“Uba Sani’s victory reveal democracy’s ripening in Kaduna state. Never has the electoral map shifted so drastically in one cycle.
“Votes and those that cast them cannot be taken for granted. Each must be earned. Competition is good for our democracy. There is no doubt the people’s decision has been rendered in the results we look at today.
“That is not to say the exercise was without fault. For instance, there were technical problems with electronic transmission of the results. Of course, there will be areas that need work to bring further transparency and credibility to the voting procedure. However, none of the issues registered represent a challenge to the freeness and fairness of the elections
“I know some politicians and candidates may not agree with this view. That too is fine. If any candidate believes they can prove the fraud they claim is committed against them, then bring forward the evidence.
“If they cannot, then we must conclude that the election was indeed the people’s will – no matter how hard that may be for the losers to accept. If they feel the need to challenge, please take it to the courts, not to the streets.
“However, to do the latter means they are not doing it in the interest of the people, but rather to inflame, to put people in harm’s way and all for personal, selfish gains.
“After a degree of polarisation that necessarily accompanies any election, it is now time to come together and act responsibly.
“I congratulate His Excellency Senator Uba Sani on his victory. Elected by the people, he is the best person for the job.

We thank the Almighty Allah for giving us another Nasiru El-Rufai in Kaduna State, we the APC members in Kaduna State are in a very joyous mood. They are very happy and appreciative of what the Almighty Allah has done in their lives because we have been in darkness in the last 16 years of PDP Maladministration.
Senator Uba Sani believes in people. And APC as a party is imbued with members with huge capacity in all fields. And he is a listening person. He listens to advice and counselling. You can see the outburst of the caliber of people in his support. So he is a man that would shock people.
He is a man who has been underrated by those people who do not know him. But we are very close to him and know his capacity. You see when you allow a successful person to govern, he will deliver, because he is not looking for food to eat. In my discussion with him, he has his plans. If you see someone who is talking about education, security, health, agriculture, housing, he knows what he is doing.
The entire people of Kaduna state should pray for a successful inauguration and successful tenure.
My advice to the people of the state is to pray for the successful inauguration and to support the governor. You support the governor and behave in a manner that the law permits. Act in a lawful manner. Pay your taxes, support the government and pray for the governor and his team, and that is what we need for kaduna to grow.
You will see shortly as he mounts leadership, there will be a rapid development in Kaduna and the economy will be boost, people will be coming in and out. Many people will come and increase their investment in Kaduna, because he is going to give you a peaceful and enabling environment. And these are the prerequisite requirements for growth and development.
I am saying it with all the confidence that the APC and Uba Sani will govern the State successfully again, APC in Kaduna State, go and find out what APC has done in Kaduna State. There is nothing you can point to in Kaduna State today that is not done by the Party under the able leadership of Malam Nasiru El-Rufai.
