The Kaduna State Government denies a viral letter alleging Governor Uba Sani approved and released N2.3 trillion for the APC’s 2027 presidential campaign flag-off in the state. Multiple outlets report that the government describes the document as fabricated and misleading, and says the governor neither authored nor authorised it.

According to statements attributed to Ahmed Maiyaki, Kaduna’s information and culture commissioner, the circulating letter is dated October 18, 2026 and claims the funds were approved for a flag-off scheduled for October 24. Outlets also say the government argues the claim is financially implausible, citing Kaduna’s 2026 budget size and pointing to inconsistencies in the document.

Some coverage adds detail on why the government says the letter is fake, including alleged misspellings and concerns about improper signature reproduction. Several outlets also place the denial within a broader claim by the government that the letter forms part of misinformation aimed at undermining Sani’s reputation ahead of the 2027 general election.
