When Kaduna Governor Uba Sani said 95% of Kaduna votes will go to the APC in 2027, he didn’t even try to hide it. It was less of a political statement and more of a confession, and that’s why many Nigerians are calling it what it is, the Kaduna Governor practically confessed a plan to rig 2027 for Tinubu.
No opposition, no shame
Standing boldly at a mega rally, Uba Sani bragged that there’s “no opposition in Kaduna anymore.” That alone sounded like a victory speech for a battle that hasn’t even been fought. In his words, he’s already promised Tinubu that Kaduna will deliver nearly all its votes to the APC. How does a governor guarantee 95% of votes in a democracy? Unless, of course, the plan is already sealed behind the curtains.
It’s the same pattern we’ve seen, loyalty to Tinubu above loyalty to democracy. The governor didn’t even hide his admiration for the president, claiming his administration has brought peace and inclusiveness. Yet, the peace he speaks of looks more like political silence, the type that happens when opposition voices are crushed or converted.
Wike’s spirit of loyalty lives on
If there’s anyone smiling quietly at this, it’s Nyesom Wike, Tinubu’s most loyal convert and the man who made betrayal of the PDP look like an art form. Uba Sani seems to be walking the same road, selling total submission as “political unity.” It’s the new style, governors declaring allegiance before elections, wrapping it in development speeches and calling it “justice and inclusivity.”
Wike turned from PDP strongman to Tinubu’s loudest defender overnight, and now Kaduna’s governor looks ready to outdo him. The loyalty isn’t about party ideology anymore, it’s about survival, who gets closer to the power centre, who kneels quicker, who shouts “Jagaban!” louder.
The open secret
And this wasn’t even a slip of the tongue. It was pride. He said it knowing everyone would hear, that Kaduna is now a one-party state, that PDP is finished there, that even the Speaker of the House is smiling at the thought of total dominance. The sad part? Nobody in the crowd flinched.
The Kaduna Governor practically confessed a plan to rig 2027 for Tinubu, and we all just moved on to the next headline. That’s how deep the country has sunk, where democracy is treated like a formality, and the game is already rigged long before the ballot boxes arrive.
And while Wike keeps proving he’s Tinubu’s most loyal boy, Uba Sani just announced himself as the newest member of that club, loud, loyal, and ready to deliver 95% by any means necessary.
