Kaduna Governor-elect, Uba Sani named most community-friendly Senator

The Arewa New Media Solidarity Association(ANMSA) has named the Kaduna State Governor-Elect, Uba Sani, as the most masses-friendly Senator from the North to have ever served in the Nigerian Senate.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Suleiman Abba after an expanded First Quarter stakeholders meeting, ANMSA, said though happy that Uba has been elevated to governorship level, his constituency and indeed the whole northern region would miss his human and community-based legislative battles in the Senate.

The Group noted that Uba Sani's four years in the Senate were dedicated to the pursuit of  edifying goals and keeping the  youth focused and disciplined, living with values that define the Northern character as a whole.

"Most of Uba Sani's four years in the Senate was spent in personal and official endeavours in the protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare of the weak and the vulnerable.

"As the Senator takes up a higher appointment in the state, we particularly want to place on record the immeasurable gratitude of the masses of Kaduna State to Dr. Uba Sani, whose leadership, sacrifice, statesmanship, patriotism, and unwavering commitment to the interests of the downtrodden masses as a whole, has few parallels in our nation.

"We acknowledge Uba Sani as a passionate believer of the organic links between generations, who throughout his four years as Senator was always available for young and the vulnerable," the Group noted.

ANMSA said without a doubt, Senator Uba Sani has etched his name in gold on the fight against hunger, poverty, unemployment and insecurity since he was elected to represent Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone in 2019.They said under his first one year, Uba Sani had impacted positively in the efforts to address these challenges in critical moments Nigerians have found themselves.

"The masses of Kaduna Central constituency can surely testify to how he has generously touched their lives.

"From helping victims of banditry attacks, to supporting the people with palliatives in critical moments like the lockdown and special annual rituals like Ramadan and Christmas, Uba Sani has proven that he is a man of the people – reason why he was elected to the senate. Sani came to the aid of the masses to cushion the crippling effect of the lockdown by providing foodstuffs and other items worth N80 million for distribution. The welfare of his people has always been a priority to him.

"He is a man of immense capacity, connecting voices between two-layers -- simply put, he is a bridge. One can say he has made ample use of his high connections with influential people in the corridors of power to quietly convey the feelings of Nigerian masses, "the group noted.

ANMSA noted that he has always conveyed the message of the masses to appropriate authorities without using abusive words against such influential leaders. He applies political diplomacy to secure the rights and privileges of the people within the multiple economic advantages available in government.

The group then declared: "For instance, he influenced and guided several youths from Northern Nigeria in seizing the opportunity to apply for soft loans through the Central Bank of Nigeria’s policies on Small-scale and Medium enterprises. This is exactly the product of awareness by the senator.
He has also assisted many indigent students by paying for their WAEC and NECO exams. We also recall how he joined other prominent Nigerians in the corridors of power to make a strong case for an upward review of the federal government’s Covid-19 palliative budget against a paltry N500 billion," ANMSA said.

Seems northern national assembly members execute more projects compared to their southern colleagues.
