Uba Sani, the Kaduna governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says if elected, he will build on the legacy of Nasir el-Rufai, the state’s incumbent governor.

Sani said this on Sunday during a town hall meeting of the APC zone 1 in Kaduna, held at Kongo conference hotel in the state.

The governorship hopeful said el-Rufai has revamped the education sector and improved the healthcare delivery system in the state over the past seven years.

He added that the improvement of trade and the huge infrastructural upgrade in terms of access roads and construction of bridges have encouraged foreign companies to invest in Kaduna state.

He also said “because of the conducive business environment in Kaduna state, it has attracted the highest number of foreign direct investment in the country”.

The APC candidate also promised to recruit more competent teachers and provide conducive learning environment.

“Women and youth empowerment will form the bedrock of my administration with your support and votes,” he added.

“I will continue from where our hard-working and dynamic governor stopped, inshaa Allah.”

Attendees at the meeting included Hadiza Balarabe, Kaduna deputy governor; Suleiman Kwari, senator representing Kaduna north; Balarabe Lawal, secretary to Kaduna state government; Umma Ahmed, commissioner for local government; Umma Aboki, commissioner, budget and planning; and chairpersons of all eight local governments of zone one.

Also present were religious and traditional leaders, women groups, youths, among others.
