The Kaduna State Government has dismissed claims that Governor Uba Sani approved a N2.3 trillion budget for the 2027 All Progressives Congress presidential campaign. The administration labeled a circulating letter as fake, stating that the governor did not endorse or authorize the document. The Commissioner for Information and Culture, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, made this assertion in a statement released on Saturday in Kaduna.
Maiyaki pointed out that the purported letter, dated October 18, 2026, falsely claimed that N2.3 trillion was released for the APC presidential campaign flag-off scheduled for October 24. He dismissed the allegation as implausible and financially unsound, considering the state’s 2026 budget was only N985.92 billion. The commissioner further described the document as fictitious, fabricated to mislead the public, and criticized its spelling errors and inconsistencies.
The government remains committed to fiscal discipline, transparency, accountability, and prudent financial management since Governor Uba Sani took office in May 2023. Maiyaki warned that circulating forged documents and making false financial claims could lead to criminal sanctions. He called on all parties to conduct political activities within the bounds of truth and the law, urging media and the public to verify information before publication.
