KADUNA 2027: IS A SECRET ALLIANCE ALREADY WORKING AGAINST UBA SANI? INSIDE THE POWER GAME THAT COULD DECIDE THE NEXT GOVERNOR!

What if the battle for Kaduna Government House is no longer about 2027?
What if the real war is about 2031 and the race for Aso Rock?
Political conversations across Kaduna and Abuja are becoming more intriguing by the day. Behind closed doors, political strategists are reportedly studying one question:
Can Governor Uba Sani be stopped before he becomes too politically influential?
The whispers are getting louder.
Some political observers believe that the Kaduna governorship election may become a proxy war involving powerful interests far beyond the state’s borders. The calculation, according to insiders, is simple: a successful second term for Governor Uba Sani could position him among the most influential northern political figures ahead of 2031.
Is that why opposition forces appear to be searching desperately for a winning formula?
His Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Hon. Victor Mathew Bobai, said:
“Yes, the Kaduna governorship race is not just a matter for Kaduna electorates alone. Some people are unhappy because of certain measures taken by my principal. Even some of us are learning to be patient because, in any system, loyalty is key. You have to do the job entrusted to you by someone who believes in your ability, even when conditions are unfavourable.
Many of us are struggling to convince friends and relatives that Governor Uba Sani means well. He has calmed much of the tension generated during the previous administration and has boldly supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I know of no governor among the 36 governors in Nigeria who is working harder for President Tinubu’s re-election than Uba Sani.
Naturally, supporters of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and other opposition figures will put pressure on my governor. But let me be honest: nobody can shake Uba Sani. He is going through difficult times, yet he remains determined to maintain peace and stability. He will not tolerate anything that threatens the peace of Kaduna State.
His relationship with the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, on issues of peace and development remains cordial, as does his engagement with religious leaders, traditional rulers, and other critical stakeholders.
Uba Sani has his own story to tell. People have undoubtedly invested heavily in their political interests. However, through persuasion, dialogue, and intelligence, we should sit around the table to discuss interests and political arrangements rather than resort to confrontational tactics. Dialogue remains the best path to sustaining peace, unity, and stability in Kaduna State.”
Is that why there is growing talk about a Southern Kaduna Christian candidate emerging on a platform capable of reshaping the political map?
Is that why old political friendships are being tested while new alliances are quietly forming?
The rumours do not end there.
Political circles are also debating whether the opposition can truly unite behind Rt. Hon. Isah Ashiru Kudan or whether competing ambitions will once again divide anti-APC forces at the most critical moment.
Meanwhile, Governor Uba Sani appears publicly unshaken.
His supporters point to improvements in security, infrastructure, agriculture, education, and social harmony as evidence that Kaduna voters may prefer continuity over experimentation.
Yet another question is troubling APC strategists:
Has Southern Kaduna finally reached a point where it will rally massively behind one of its own regardless of party affiliation?
If that happens, the electoral equation changes completely.
Even more fascinating is the growing discussion around influential political figures whose endorsements could determine the outcome long before Election Day.
Finally, Bobai said:
“There is a growing rumour that Governor Uba Sani will be defeated. I believe that is nothing more than wishful thinking. We must continue to support Uba Sani because he has demonstrated commitment to peace, unity, and development in Kaduna State.
Major stakeholders, including General T.Y. Danjuma and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), appreciate the efforts Governor Uba Sani has made to make Kaduna a more accommodating place despite the challenges facing the state.
We cannot support any agenda that seeks to make Kaduna ungovernable or divide our people. The Uba Sani agenda is bigger, stronger, and more focused than many people realize. More importantly, he is a man of peace who remains committed to the stability, progress, and unity of Kaduna State.
Despite the rumours, speculations, and political permutations from different quarters, Governor Uba Sani has deliberately chosen the path of peace, tranquillity, peaceful coexistence, and inclusive governance. His policies are centered on building a safer, more united, and more prosperous Kaduna State.
He remains unapologetic about his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because he believes Nigeria’s progress requires consistency, courage, and leadership. We should not be deceived by narratives designed to divide us or scatter our collective aspirations. We should follow Uba Sani because he knows the road better and understands the destination Kaduna must reach.”
From Kaduna North to Kaduna Central and down to Southern Kaduna, political camps are quietly counting numbers, measuring loyalties, and testing alliances, with Governor Uba Sani remaining a major force in the political equation.
One thing is becoming increasingly clear:
Kaduna 2027 may not simply be a contest between APC and the opposition. It may become a battle between incumbency, regional identity, political ambition, and future presidential calculations.
And if the rumours currently circulating in political circles contain even a grain of truth, the biggest political earthquake in Kaduna may still lie ahead.
The question remains:
Who is really preparing for 2027 and who is secretly preparing for 2031?
The game has begun.
