Ahead of the forthcoming primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Governor Nasir El-Rufai has thrown his support for the Senator representing Kaduna Central, Uba Sani, as the consensus candidate of the party in the 2023 general election.
The decision was taken at a stakeholders’ meeting of the party where the Governor asked them to rally around Senator Uba for the governorship seat.
This was disclosed by one of the governorship aspirants and El-Rufai’s former Chief of Staff, Sani Abdullahi in a statement in which he also announced his withdrawal from the race.
He said he has accepted the decision as God’s will and will not go contrary to it.
Abdullahi stated that he will abide by the directive of Governor El-Rufai and the party’s decision. According to him, he has been asked by the governor to obtain the form for the ticket of Kaduna Central Senatorial District, a position currently occupied by Senator Uba Sani.
He, however, thanked Governor El-Rufai for his mentorship and unwavering support. Abdullahi assured him that he would continue to work for the success of the APC in all elections.
