In 2027, the Kaduna State Chapter of the Nigeria Union of Pensioners has endorsed Senator Uba Sani's re-election bid, lauding his governance for three years. During a courtesy call, the union awarded him and presented an accolade, highlighting his pension-friendly policies. The union disclosed that over N21 billion has been allocated to settle outstanding gratuities and death benefits, a significant improvement from the previous administration's paltry N37 billion over eight years.
The union's state secretary, Comrade Alhassan Balarabe Musa, noted that Governor Uba Sani paid more pension in three years than the previous government did in eight, an unprecedented feat. Pensioners in Kaduna State are now receiving their entitlements promptly, unlike when they were late. The Deputy National Chairman of the union, Comrade Abdullahi Usman Onuh, said that with about 16,000 pensioners in Kaduna, a vote from each could secure Uba Sani's second term.
They advised opponents to reconsider their stance. Governor Uba Sani acknowledged the importance of pensioners, stating that without their hard work, the government officials would not be in place. He pledged to continue prioritizing pensioners' welfare and set up a committee to review their monthly pension entitlements. The Governor also agreed to give the union a bus for its members' use, promising to allocate land within Kaduna metropolis to NUP.
