Kaduna Governor Uba Sani says he is willing to “take a bullet” for President Bola Tinubu, framing the stance as a pledge of continued support for Tinubu’s re-election push. The comment is reflected in coverage that also includes reaction from Tinubu’s media aide, who portrays Sani’s position as unwavering.
Across outlets, Sani links his support to benefits Kaduna has received while Tinubu is in office, rather than to personal favours. He cites claims about federal appointments for Kaduna indigenes, education-related developments such as federal universities, and infrastructure and transport projects, including roads and light rail, as well as additional CNG buses.
The tone and emphasis differ by outlet. One report leads with the dramatic wording and a response from a presidential aide, while others foreground Sani’s explanation for why he says he would risk his life for Tinubu. However, the core elements—Sani’s readiness to take a bullet and his justification in terms of benefits to Kaduna—are consistent.
