Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani denied allegations that he approved N2.3 trillion for the APC presidential campaign, calling the claims forged. The government described the viral letter as fraudulent and misleading, accusing its authors of trying to harm the governor’s reputation.
The claim emerged after a letter circulated online, alleging that Sani authorized the large sum for the campaign. The governor’s office stated the letter was not authentic and that it was an attempt to undermine his administration’s fiscal discipline. No official documents were provided to support the claim.
The controversy comes amid heightened political tensions in Kaduna ahead of the 2027 elections. Governor Sani has been a key figure in the APC, and the dispute over campaign funding adds to the political dynamics in the state.
This is not the first time Sani has faced scrutiny over campaign finances. In the past, he has been accused of mismanagement, though these claims were later dismissed by his administration. The current denial follows a recent development where over 300 schools and 150 healthcare centers reopened in Kaduna, attributed to President Bola Tinubu’s interventions.
The situation highlights the challenges of political accountability in Nigeria, particularly in states with high political stakes. As the 2027 elections approach, such controversies could influence voter perceptions and party strategies.
