2027 elections: Uba Sani’s aide unveils ‘3-man force’ to deliver Kaduna for APC

The Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to the Kaduna state Governor, Victor Mathew Bobai, has identified Governor Uba Sani, Minister of Defence, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, (Rtd) and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, as key political figures capable of delivering Kaduna state for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Bobai, who is also the Convener of the Friends of CG Musa Support Group for President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani, described the emerging political alignment involving the three leaders as a formidable combination of executive leadership, grassroots mobilisation, strategic influence and legislative reach.

In a statement titled, “The Three Musketeers: Kaduna’s Formidable Team for Tinubu 2027,” Bobai said the three leaders possess complementary strengths that could be effectively harnessed to build a broad political coalition ahead of the elections.

He said the objective was to mobilise massive support for Tinubu in Kaduna and secure the re-election of Governor Uba Sani across the state’s 23 local government areas.

Bobai projects new political alignment

According to Bobai, the political strategy being developed ahead of 2027 would go beyond relying on financial resources, stressing that effective organisation, leadership, relationships, grassroots engagement and public confidence would be crucial to electoral success.

“The objective is clear: to mobilise massive support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Kaduna State and secure the re-election of Governor Uba Sani,” he said.

Bobai argued that previous political campaigns in the state had demonstrated that huge resources alone could not guarantee electoral victory, insisting that a stronger political structure must be built around direct engagement with citizens.

He said the emerging alignment was capable of bringing together political actors and communities across Kaduna’s three senatorial zones.

Musa emerging as Southern Kaduna rallying point

Bobai described General Musa as a significant rallying point, particularly in Southern Kaduna, citing his years of service to Nigeria and what he described as his growing goodwill across the state.

He said the Minister of Defence had developed considerable social and political capital capable of attracting people from different communities and political interests.

“General Musa has become an important rallying point, particularly in Southern Kaduna. His influence cuts across communities and political interests, and his ability to bring people together gives him a unique role in the political conversation ahead,” Bobai said.

He added that the presence of political figures including Senator Sunday Marshall Katung, Jerry Adams, Hon. Dan Amos and other elected representatives and stakeholders could further strengthen the coalition.

Bobai said Musa’s role should extend beyond electoral mobilisation to building bridges, harmonising interests and promoting greater cooperation among communities in Southern Kaduna, the Middle Belt, the North and Nigeria as a whole.

Abbas strengthens Kaduna North structure

In Kaduna North Senatorial District, Bobai identified Speaker Abbas as another major pillar of the proposed political structure.

He pointed to the Speaker’s engagements and empowerment initiatives across Zaria, Sabon Gari, Ikara, Makarfi, Kudan, Soba, Kubau and Lere as evidence of his strong connection with constituents and political stakeholders.

According to him, Abbas’ relationship with the governor, members of the National Assembly and the APC structure provides an important platform for mobilising support for the Tinubu administration.

“His relationship with the Governor, members of the National Assembly and the APC structure provides another important pillar for the mobilisation of support for President Tinubu,” he said.

Bobai described cooperation among political leaders as critical to building an effective structure capable of winning elections and sustaining development.

Uba Sani as bridge builder

The governor, Bobai said, remains central to the political arrangement because of his ability to build bridges across political divides and accommodate people from different backgrounds.

He said several individuals who previously belonged to different political camps had found a place within the APC under Sani’s leadership.

Bobai also linked the governor’s political influence to his relationship with President Tinubu and his engagement with other governors in the Northwest.

He said the governor’s approach was centred on inclusion rather than exclusion, adding that a broader political family would be better positioned to promote development and stability in Kaduna.

“The Governor’s approach is not about excluding people. It is about building a larger political family capable of delivering development and political stability,” he said.

‘House to house, door to door’

Bobai said the Friends of CG Musa Social Media Network would intensify grassroots engagement ahead of the 2027 elections.

He said the group would take its campaign to households, communities and individuals, with a focus on communicating the achievements and programmes of the Tinubu and Sani administrations.

“Our message is therefore simple: House to house. Door to door. Community to community. Individual to individual,” he declared.

He said the group would engage citizens respectfully, explain government policies and achievements, listen to their concerns and seek their support through what he described as facts, service and persuasion.

Bobai seeks united Kaduna

Bobai said the 2027 elections should be centred on ideas, records, leadership and vision rather than hatred and permanent political division.

He maintained that the combined strengths of Sani, Musa and Abbas could provide a platform for building a wider coalition across Kaduna State.

According to him, the proposed political alignment was not merely about three individuals but about creating a united Kaduna capable of contributing to the success of the Renewed Hope agenda.

He expressed confidence that if the political and grassroots strengths of the three leaders were effectively harmonised, Kaduna could deliver a significant electoral mandate for President Tinubu and Governor Sani in 2027.

“This is not merely about three individuals. It is about building a united Kaduna, strengthening the Renewed Hope agenda and working together for a better future,” Bobai added.
