Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has made a bold declaration that the state will soon become a one-party state, with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) dominating the political landscape. This assertion comes on the heels of recent defections from opposition parties to the APC, including four members of the House of Representatives and several members of the Kaduna State House of Assembly.
Speaking at an event in Zaria, Governor Sani attributed the defections to the APC’s positive governance and inclusive policies, stating that these moves demonstrate the party’s ability to “carry everyone along” in Kaduna State. He expressed confidence that the APC’s continued dominance will lead to Kaduna becoming a one-party state within a few months.
The governor’s statement has sparked interest and debate about the implications of such a political scenario for Kaduna State. While some view it as a sign of political stability and cohesion, others raise concerns about the potential erosion of political diversity and opposition voices.
Meanwhile, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has been praised by Governor Sani for his contributions to the state’s development, including the distribution of vehicles and motorcycles to constituents. Abbas has expressed his commitment to supporting Governor Sani and the APC, highlighting their collaborative efforts to drive progress in Kaduna State.
In summary, Governor Sani’s declaration reflects the APC’s growing influence in Kaduna, but it also raises questions about the future of political pluralism and opposition in the state.
