Reason I won’t be distracted by propaganda on my victory – Governor Uba Sani

In an interview with Arise TV on Thursday, September 29, Kaduna state governor, Uba Sani bares his mind on the affirmation of his victory by the Kaduna Elections Petitions Tribunal, his political principle and his take on the historic verdict. Excerpts:NYSC Portal

Congratulations would be in order but we need to get clarity on the true position exactly because on the one hand they said the tribunal has removed you and on the other hand they said the election is inconclusive. It’s quite confusing at this point, give us clarity.

I’m not someone who will bother myself about propaganda because of my background as one who has spent three decades as a civil activist, someone who believes in the rule of law, and democracy and fights for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria.JAMB Result

I’m someone who always believes in the rule of law and I cannot sit here and join the propaganda of people that want to misinform the public. We know this thing clearly, we listened to the ruling by the judges and I can say here clearly that we shouldn’t be joining propaganda because the ruling is clear.JAMB Portal

The case has been dismissed loud and clear by the judges and of course, now it’s left for the PDP’s candidate to approach the court of Appeal. Any propaganda is just a waste of time. For me, sitting here, I have been involved in democratic processes in Nigeria, I contested elections four times, I won twice, and lost twice. So you are talking with someone with experience of winning and losing elections. But never in my life have I gone into propaganda.

The fact of the matter is very clear. Again, as someone who has spent four years in the National Assembly, this Electoral Act we are talking about, I was involved in amending the Electoral Act, I know what it takes and I know that if you have any case that has to do with the election petition, you have to be very clear with what the Electoral Act states there clearly. Every aspect of their case has a time limit.

So it’s not about the judges, it’s about the lawyers who are supposed to file their preliminary objection within the timeframe, and if they don’t do it, that’s the Supreme Court ruling in most of the cases and if they don’t do it, we in the National Assembly who amended the Electoral Act we made it clear.informationguidenigeria

And in any case, talking about propaganda, I shouldn’t be part of it. For me, what happened today (Yesterday is a true reflection of the mandate given to me by the people of Kaduna State. And of course, I must thank them and I must also thank Hon Isa Ashiru as a Democrat, I believe that he is within his right to ventilate his grievances by going to court, and as stated by the ruling, I will urge him if he has any grievance, he should approach the Appeal court. We are in a democratic setting, the earlier the better for us to stop trying to undermine our democratic system and the judiciary is key. It pays to approach the Court of Appeal.

I think I will welcome him to come and work with me, it is about Kaduna. So I welcome not only him, his supporters, and my supporters to come and work together for the interest of our own state. In the election, there must be only one winner and there must be a loser. So he lost the election by the outcome of the Tribunal today. As far as I am concerned, I’m happy about the judgment but most importantly I also caution my followers to tell them let’s bring everyone together because we are in Kaduna, work together, and contribute to the success of the state. Every person is important, that is where we are today.
