Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani says he has no problem with his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai, dismissing reports of a fallout between them. In interviews highlighted by multiple outlets, he says he has never criticised El-Rufai and continues to hold him in respect.

Sani frames the rumours as speculation being driven by political actors seeking tension in Kaduna State. He adds that his focus is on governance—promoting unity and delivering benefits of public service to residents—rather than engaging in personal or political disputes with a former governor. Outlets also report that he urges the public not to be distracted by claims of a rift.

Across the coverage, the emphasis remains on Sani’s denial and his stated relationship with El-Rufai, with consistent mention of his comments during an interview on Trust TV and his insistence that their relationship is cordial.
