Uba Sani, senator-elect of Kaduna central district, says his victory at the February 23 election did not come easy.

In a statement on Monday, Sani thanked residents of the state for re-electing Nasir el-rufai, governor of the state, for another term.

He said with their victory at the general election, the people have endorsed the policies and programmes that will take them to the next level.

The senator-elect said the government will not take for granted the confidence the people have reposed in them.

“Today, my joy is complete. Just two weeks ago, the good people of Kaduna State thonged voting centers across the State to overwhelmingly re-elect President Muhammadu Buhari as the leader of our great nation for another four years,” Sani said.

“Similarly I was overwhelmingly elected as the Senator for Kaduna Central Zone in the National Assembly. In my message to you our people earlier, I thanked you all for the love and confidence you have reposed on us. But then I said I will delay my celebration as Senator-elect until our indefatigable Governor and the architect of the accelerated reworking of modern day Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir EL Rufai is re-elected by our good people.

“Today, I can now truly celebrate for my joy is now complete with the affirmation by INEC of the huge votes you gave Mallam Nasir El Rufai to re-elect him the Governor of our beloved State of Kaduna. I am truly grateful to Almighty Allah and the good people of our State for this victory. Like any one can attest to, our victory today and even two weeks ago did not come easy. Agents of change and transformational leaders all over the world sometimes have to travel tortious paths to truly achieve the liberation and emancipation of a people they love so much.

“The people of Kaduna State have again spoken all too loudly that that they endorse our policies and Programmes to take them to the next level. By the grace of Almighty Allah, I assure you all that we will never take your love or the confidence you have reposed in us for granted. We have earned your trust and we intend to keep it. Kaduna shall remain home to all law abiding citizens irrespective of creed, religion, ethnic, political and social inclinations.”

Sani added that they are ready to serve the people with their strength.

“Elections are over and we are completely poised to commence serving our people with all our strength and might, God helping us. Once again, we are extremely thankful to members and leaders of our great party, the APC. We urge our gallant party men and women to be magnanimous and graceful in victory. Like our President already admonished us, let us not gloat,” he said.

“With the development strides that Mallam El Rufai has already begun, Kaduna would continue to comfortably accommodate all peace loving citizens of our great country. We are truly grateful. Thank you our good people of Kaduna State. We will not let you down, Insha Allah.”
