Kaduna State continues to play a significant role in the politics of the North and of Nigeria in general, so interest in its internal politics spread far beyond its boundaries

Kaduna State is the political hub of Northern Nigeria and the former capital from which the late Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto, administered the defunct Northern Nigeria as premier.

In 2019, Governor Nasir El-Rufai broke that tradition when he picked a Muslim woman who was his commissioner of health, Hadiza Balarabe, as his running mate.The APC in Kaduna has managed to avoid a major crisis in the run up to the 2023 elections, unlike the case in previous cycles. This is perhaps because most of the adversaries ofFrom the look of things, the party’s primary is going to be a coronation for the governor’s anointed aspirant, Uba Sani, who is currently serving as a senator.

Confirming his withdrawal from the gubernatorial race to PREMIUM TIMES, Mr Dattijo said he will contest for the Kaduna North senatorial seat, which is presently occupied by Mr Sani.However, despite his governor’s backing, the APC primary may not be a cakewalk for Mr Sani. Mr Sha’aban expects support from politicians close to his in-law, the president. He is married to Mr Buhari’s last daughter, Hanan Buhari.

Among the aspirants is Isah Ashiru, a former member of the House of Representatives who flew the party’s flag in 2019 but lost to Governor El-Rufai at the secondary election. Many observers believe he remains the man to beat at the primary.and a former senator, Datti Baba-Ahmed, is also running. He is a popular figure in Kaduna politics and his candidature will bother the APC if he clinches the PDP ticket.

Another aspirant is a former boss of the National Emergency Management Agency , Sani Sidi. Mr Sidi lost to Mr Ashiru at the PDP primary in 2019 and decamped to the APC. In late 2021, however, he returned to the PDP.it will be a disaster for the PDP not to win Kaduna in 2023.
