Sani claimed, “We have brought Kaduna into a one-party state and I have no apology for that.” He criticized some journalists for having preconceived opinions about his administration.

The governor emphasized that no president has supported northern Nigeria as much as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has in less than three years. Sani expressed confidence that Tinubu would secure 70 percent of the votes if elections were held at polling units.

Improvements in infrastructure have boosted economic activities in Kaduna. Two major projects were recently approved: a 50 km Light Rail corridor costing N1 trillion and the construction of the 122 km Mandu-Birnin Gwari Road at a cost of N178 billion.

Sani also noted significant security improvements in the state, allowing residents to travel without military escort. He remarked, “Kaduna is a role model in the effective utilization of the funds given to states.”

Before 2023, Kaduna faced challenges such as insecurity and poor infrastructure. The current administration aims to address these issues through various initiatives.

Sani criticized the opposition coalition for attempting to undermine democracy in Nigeria. Observers will watch closely as these developments unfold in the lead-up to future elections.

Umma El-Rufai passed away on March 27, 2026, after receiving treatment in Cairo, Egypt. Her death follows closely on the heels of another family tragedy; El-Rufai’s sister-in-law, Safiya Ali Rufai, died just a week earlier on March 20, coinciding with Eid-el-Fitr. The dual losses have cast a shadow over El-Rufai’s life as he navigates significant personal grief.

El-Rufai, a prominent political figure in Nigeria, was temporarily released from custody to attend his mother’s funeral. He had been detained by anti-graft agencies upon his return from Egypt in mid-February 2026, facing serious charges of money laundering and the conversion of public property to private use. He has pleaded not guilty to these charges, which include ten counts related to an alleged misappropriation of 423 billion Naira.

The court proceedings against El-Rufai are set to resume on March 31, 2026. His legal troubles come four years after he publicly criticized the political culture of godfatherism in Lagos, a statement that has since echoed through Nigeria’s political landscape. El-Rufai’s past remarks included, “Godfatherism. This is Lagos. Let me tell you something sir; you know, Kaduna State used to be like that. But we chose a different path…”

Condolences have poured in from various political figures, including President Bola Tinubu, who expressed his sympathies during this difficult time. The political climate surrounding El-Rufai is charged, as he has been a vocal critic of certain political practices, which may have contributed to his current legal challenges.

What observers say

Political analysts note that El-Rufai’s recent personal losses could impact his future public engagements. The exact ramifications of these events on his political career remain uncertain. Additionally, the terms of his temporary release from custody have not been publicly confirmed, leaving many questions unanswered.

As the burial of Umma El-Rufai is scheduled for 1 p.m. on March 29, 2026, at the National Mosque, the family prepares to lay her to rest while El-Rufai continues to face the weight of his legal battles. The juxtaposition of personal grief and public scrutiny underscores the complex nature of his current situation.
