Southern Kaduna Group Vows Issue-based Campaign For Re-election Of Uba,Jerry

A group under the auspices of APC One Million Solidarity Votes Movement, Southern Kaduna Zone, has promised to embark on issue based campaign for the re-election of Governor Uba Sani and Jerry Adams joint ticket ahead of 2027 polls.

The Director-General of the Movement in Southern Kaduna, Nathaniel Joseph Bagudu, said the region is better positioned to play a decisive role in the outcome of the 2027 elections, expressing confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would secure overwhelming support across the area.

Addressing news conference in Kaduna, Bagudu said the event was organised to appreciate Governor Uba Sani for nominating the Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), Comrade Jerry Adams, as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.

He described Adams’ emergence as a strategic decision that had generated widespread excitement across Southern Kaduna, arguing that the choice had significantly boosted the APC’s electoral prospects.

According to him, the nomination has “reduced about 60 per cent of the campaign work” for the party, as many residents have welcomed the decision and are already expressing their readiness to support the APC in the 2027 elections.

“Comrade Jerry Adams’ nomination has been widely accepted across Southern Kaduna. It is a strategic choice that has inspired confidence among our people. We believe the decision has already reduced about 60 per cent of the work ahead of us because many people have embraced the ticket,” he said.

Bagudu said the Office of the Deputy Governor offers a broader platform for public service than the chairmanship of KADIRS, adding that it presents greater opportunities to contribute to the development of Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State and Nigeria.

He noted that the transition would not affect the operations of KADIRS, stressing that the agency had been strengthened with competent personnel, institutional reforms and efficient systems capable of sustaining its performance.

Bagudu further disclosed that the movement had commenced an extensive grassroots mobilisation campaign aimed at delivering one million votes for the party in Southern Kaduna.

He said mobilisation teams had already visited Jaba, Zangon Kataf and Jema’a Local Government Areas to encourage eligible residents, particularly young people, to register for their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), adding that the exercise would be extended to other local government areas in the region.

Bagudu also commended Governor Uba Sani’s administration for what he described as inclusive governance and improvements in security, saying the achievements had strengthened public confidence in the government.
