Kaduna expected to lead Northern votes
The former lawmaker revealed that efforts are already underway to ensure President Tinubu garners the highest number of votes from the North, with Kaduna expected to play a leading role.
“President Tinubu will win by a very wide margin, especially for those of us in Kaduna. We are working towards making sure that he has the highest votes in the Northern part of Nigeria,” he said.
Lessons from 2023 election challenges
Mr Sani attributed the outcome of the 2023 presidential election in parts of the North to challenges that existed at the time. He noted that the situation has since improved, particularly with leadership changes in Kaduna.
“It was a setback in the last election because of the issues that existed at that time, but now we have a governor who is able to unite the Northern and Southern parts of Kaduna,” he added.
With renewed political strategies and improved unity in Kaduna, Mr Sani believes President Tinubu is positioned to achieve a decisive victory in Northern Nigeria during the 2027 polls.
