2027: No vacancy in Kaduna Government House, ALGON chair drums support for Governor Sani

The Chairman of the Association of Local Governments Of Nigeria(ALGON), Kaduna State, Hon Jamilu Albani, has pledged total support of chairmen to Governor Uba Sani.

According to him, all council chairmen in Kaduna State are committed to reciprocating the political goodwill the Governor had extended to them, culminating in their victory at the polls.

Albany spoke after the breaking of the Ramadan Fast (Iftar) when Governor Uba Sani hosted all 23 local government chairmen and their deputies on Wednesday night.

The ALGON chairman, who also serves as the Chairman of Sabon Gari local government, noted that Governor Uba Sani was criticised by political opponents for supporting their aspirations.

‘’But by the Grace of the Almighty Allah(SWT), and through the support of His Excellency, we were elected chairmen of our various local governments,’’ Albani said.

The chairman further disclosed that even after being elected, Governor Uba Sani had granted them autonomy to run the affairs of their councils without interference.

He said that the Governor has also been helping them politically, adding that he has paid party officials and distributed palliatives to people at the grassroots, responsibilities that they should ordinarily shoulder.

According to him, the immediate past government did not pay attention to party officials at the local government levels because, throughout its tenure, they got only N9,000 each.

‘’So come 2027, we will reciprocate the Governor’s kind gesture by ensuring that our people vote massively for him at the polls. Political opponents who think they can defeat the Governor will suffer the worst defeat in their lives,’’ he promised.

Speaking at the Iftar dinner, Governor Uba Sani noted that local government is crucial to politics because it is the tier of government closest to the people.

‘’Local Government is the foundation of politics, and I advise you to execute developmental projects, attend to people in their times of need and share the little you have with them,’’ he advised.

The Governor, who promised to continue supporting the local government chairmen, said that all state Government interventions would be done through them, adding that they should not give more priority to their relatives than others.
