His Excellency, the people’s governor, Sen. Uba Sani is redefining leadership in the Political Landscape of Kaduna State and Nigeria. Gov. Uba came on the scene with a different approach to public service and he is no doubt redefining political leadership in the State.

The Governor, has shown with his interventions on several impasses in the polity that the essence of holding the mandate of the people in trust is to make life more meaningful to the people.

When the chips are down, always count on Gov. Uba Sani. He will definitely intervene with mostly desirable results. Like he has done in time past.

Gov. Uba Sani displayed capacity and unparallel leadership when he quickly visited Kuriga village on the day the unfortunate incidence occurred, where students from Kuriga Primary and Secondary School were kidnapped.

His Excellency, the Governor, wasn’t in Kuriga village to cajole or play to the gallery. Rather, He engaged with the leadership of the community and parents of the abducted students with the honest intention of salvaging the dire situation. His visit was mainly to identify with the community and reassure them of his willingness and commitment to ensure the students are rescued from the hands of their captors in no distant time.

True to his words, Gov. Uba Sani visited His Excellency, President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to brief him on the security situation in Kaduna State and to share thoughts with him on effective strategies to bring back our abducted Kuriga school children and to also degrade the criminal elements laying siege in our communities within Kaduna State.

In what can be described as true, committed and exemplary leadership, Gov. Uba didn’t rest on his laurels, he kept beckoning and calling on the various security agencies to act promptly and safeguard the life’s of the abducted student. Sixteen days after, the Kuriga Students were rescued from the hands of the abductors in good faith and health and were today reunited with their family.

Gov. Uba led by example, he has so far proven that elected officials can truly be responsive even in times of crisis. Undoubtedly he has to a large extent restored the confidence of the people of Kuriga Village, Chikun Local Government and Kaduna State in public stewardship.
