Uba Sani, the Kaduna governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says if elected, he will build on the legacy of Nasir el-Rufai, the state’s incumbent governor.
Sani said this on Sunday during a town hall meeting of the APC zone 1 in Kaduna, held at Kongo conference hotel in the state.
The governorship hopeful said el-Rufai has revamped the education sector and improved the healthcare delivery system in the state over the past seven years.
He added that the improvement of trade and the huge infrastructural upgrade in terms of access roads and construction of bridges have encouraged foreign companies to invest in Kaduna state.
