2027 elections: Why Tinubu, Uba Sani deserve Southern Kaduna votes – Katung

The Senator representing Kaduna South Senatorial District, Sunday Marshall Katung, has stated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani have earned the help of Southern Kaduna by means of seen, life-changing interventions and deserve a second time period.

Senator Katung acknowledged this in an unique interview with Invicta FM, Kaduna, whereas assessing the affect of the APC-led administrations on the federal and state ranges.

According to him, President Tinubu charges Kaduna as a strategic state for the actualization of the Renewed Hope Agenda, which knowledgeable the choice to flag off the APC marketing campaign within the North-West state.

He listed two federal tasks as game-changers for the state: the sunshine rail mission and the $29.62 Million (N40 Billion) Ginger Processing Hub in Kachia.

Katung cited the rising worth of land in Kachia as proof of financial revival. “In November 2023, 15 plots were offered at N300,000 each. By February 2026, the remaining 5 were selling at N1.1 million per plot. That is what the President’s intervention has brought.”

“Rallies don’t win elections. What wins is the door-to-door approach – sitting with the people, listening to them, and explaining what you intend to do. That is what we did. We held town hall meetings and asked: what do you want us to do?” he stated.

Senator Katung known as on the citizens to maintain the present momentum.

“My appeal is that we give President Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani another chance. What is to be achieved is greater than what we are seeing now. When these economic policies mature, Nigerians will appreciate the vision.”

“I support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the re-election of Governor Uba Sani, and indeed all APC candidates, because I know that is the platform that will give us what we want in Southern Kaduna,” Katung declared.
