Sen. Uba Sani, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Kaduna State governorship candidate, said the state will deliver maximum votes to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election.
He stated this on Friday at the inauguration of Sen. Kashim Shettima, the APC Vice-Presidential Candidate, as the Chairman of the Arewa Women for Tinubu (AWT) support group.
Speaking at the ceremony, Sani said, “I’m here to also deliver a goodwill message from my brother, Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State.”
“I want to also say that El-Rufai is totally in support of our brother, His Excellency, Sen. Kashim Shettima; we have worked together, we are brothers, and we are friends,” he said.
Sani also debunked speculation that there was a cold war between Shettima and El-Rufai, describing it as malicious and unfounded.
According to him, the APC would secure most of its winning votes in 2023 from Kaduna State due to the popularity of El-Rufai.
“When the news broke that Shettima had been selected as Tinubu’s running mate, El-Rufai was one of the few individuals that reached out to the Senator to congratulate him.
“Unfortunately, some people obviously ignorant of the cordial relationship between El-Rufai and Shettima tried to spread false news about them especially using social media.
“I assure you and I stand to be quoted that Kaduna State will deliver the highest votes for the Tinubu/ Shettima ticket in 2023,” he added.
