The Kaduna State Government has dismissed as false and misleading a report circulating on social media alleging that Governor Uba Sani has endorsed certain aspirants for the National Assembly ahead of future political contests.
The government described the claim as a figment of the imagination of its authors, urging the public to disregard the story in its entirety.
In a statement signed and issued in Kaduna by the Honourable Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, the government clarified that Governor Uba Sani has not endorsed, anointed, or given preferential support to any aspirant seeking any elective position.
According to the statement, the Governor remains a committed democrat who believes firmly in a transparent, fair, and inclusive process that allows party members and stakeholders to determine who emerges as candidates through the constitutionally established mechanisms of the party.
“The attention of the Kaduna State Government has been drawn to a misleading message making the rounds on social media alleging that Governor Uba Sani has endorsed certain aspirants for elective positions. This claim is entirely false and should be disregarded,” the statement said.
Malam Maiyaki emphasized that the Governor is currently focused on delivering good governance and implementing policies and programmes aimed at improving the welfare of the people of Kaduna State, rather than engaging in premature political endorsements.
The statement further warned individuals and groups against the deliberate spread of fake news and politically motivated misinformation, noting that such actions are capable of creating unnecessary tension within the political space and misleading members of the public.
The Commissioner therefore urged political actors, supporters, and members of the public to verify information from credible and official sources before sharing it, stressing that responsible communication is essential to maintaining peace and political stability in the state.
He reaffirmed that Governor Uba Sani will continue to respect the democratic rights of all aspirants and party members, while ensuring that due process and the rule of law guide all political activities.
