  "account": "Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has adhered to the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi's guidance by implementing projects and programs that benefit the state's populace. Barrister Basirat Fawehinmi-Biobaku, the daughter of the esteemed pro-democracy and human rights activist, shared memories of her father instructing Comrade Uba Sani during their residence in Kaduna. Fawehinmi-Biobaku has authored a book titled \"Gani Fawehinmi And Uba Sani: A Tale Of Mentor And Mentee.\" The author revealed that Governor Sani lived with her father for four years at 9A Ademola Close, GRA, Ikeja, and spent their mornings together at the office. The governor, according to Fawehinmi-Biobaku, is diligently following his mentor's advice from over three decades ago. She praised him for revitalizing education by constructing schools and classrooms, reducing out-of-school children, and making education free from primary to secondary levels. Additionally, she commended him for extending healthcare services to every resident of Kaduna State through the establishment of Primary Healthcare Centres in all 255 wards. Fawehinmi-Biobaku also acknowledged the governor's extensive infrastructure upgrades and rural development initiatives, which have improved the transportation of agricultural products, reduced travel time, and stimulated commerce. She lauded the governor for fostering peace in the state by uniting its northern and southern regions, asserting that without peace, development cannot occur. Fawehinmi-Biobaku, while not a politician, expressed her admiration for Governor Sani's choice of a Christian Deputy from Southern Kaduna, stating that if Gani Fawehinmi were alive today, he would be extremely proud. She added that her mother, Mrs. Ganiat Fawehinmi, who used to prepare his meals, is extremely proud of her son. The author concluded by expressing her belief that in Governor Uba Sani, the spirit of Gani Fawehinmi definitely lives on.",
