Uba Sani says Northern Women Ulama endorsed Tinubu for re-election

Northern Nigeria’s governor, Uba Sani, says Northern Women Ulama have endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s re-election for a second term.

Speaking at a stakeholders’ engagement with delegates from the 19 northern states at Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Conference Centre, Sani says the endorsement is based on what he describes as Tinubu’s achievements. He cites progress in education, infrastructural development, healthcare, and agriculture, presenting these as reasons for the support.

Both reports describe the same event and attribution to Sani, emphasizing Tinubu’s record and governance style. While one outlet highlights Tinubu’s “giant strides” across specific sectors, the other frames the endorsement around a broader “inclusive style of governance” alongside achievements. Neither source provides the Women Ulama’s own detailed statement beyond Sani’s account.
