Senator Uba Sani, who has governed Kaduna State since 2023, is reportedly being positioned for a second term bid in the 2027 governorship election, though no formal declaration has been made. Both Leadership and Daily Trust report the same development — an award presented to the governor by the Kaduna NUP chapter describing him as pensioner-friendly — but neither account details the specific welfare interventions, such as gratuity payments or pension reforms, that prompted the union's endorsement, leaving the substance of his record with pensioners yet to be independently verified.
