Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 general election after securing 459,393 affirmation votes during the party’s primary election held on Thursday.

Governor Sani, who contested as the sole aspirant, received overwhelming support from delegates and party stakeholders across the state in what APC leaders described as a strong endorsement of his administration and leadership style.

The primary election, monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), attracted top party figures, elected officials, delegates and supporters from the 23 local government areas of Kaduna State.

Announcing the result, the Chairman of the Kaduna APC Governorship and House of Assembly Primary Election Committee, Hon. Hafiz Ibrahim Kawu, described the exercise as peaceful, transparent and reflective of growing unity within the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections.

In his acceptance speech, Governor Sani thanked APC members, stakeholders and residents of Kaduna State for the confidence reposed in him, pledging to consolidate on his administration’s achievements in security, infrastructure, education, rural transformation and urban renewal.
