Ex-envoy lauds Sani for inclusive govt in Kaduna
Yusuf Mamman, former Nigeria’s Ambassador to Spain and spokesman of ex-military President, General Ibrahim Babangida, has lauded the developmental strides of Governor Uba Sani in Kaduna State, saying the chief executive had replicated the concept of even growth almost 40 years after the defunct Second Republic.
According to Mamman, governor Sani has re-enacted the development template of the Balarabe Musa administration in Kaduna State, almost four decades later.
Addressing reporters, the ex-envoy commended the governor for “giving the diverse people of Kaduna State a sense of belonging, in his policy of inclusion.” He noted that the policy was not only the panacea for peace and development but also the foundation for an egalitarian society.
The ex-diplomat recalled that during the Balarabe Musa’s administration, a cottage industry was sited in each of the then 14 local council areas of Kaduna State, leveraging their comparative advantages.
Mamman explained: “Governor Uba Sani is now executing projects across the state, irrespective of party affiliations or ethno-religious considerations, in his policy of inclusion.”
The erstwhile spokesman, who was a broadcast journalist with NTA Kaduna in the 80s, pointed out that ethno-religious crises have stifled development in the state.
He submitted that the governor’s policy of “carrying everyone along is the panacea for peace and development, which has been lacking with previous administrations after Balarabe Musa’s government.”
The one-time National Chairman of the defunct Alliance for Democracy (AD) added: “The governor’s antecedents as a progressive and a pro-democracy activist have adequately prepared him to govern a diverse polity like Kaduna State.
“In particular, his community engagement and the all-inclusive governance style stand him out for commendation. His approach to inter-ethnic, inter and intra faith relations are ushering in a new era of peace and harmony in Kaduna State.”
