Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has called on ministers and heads of agencies from Northern Nigeria to improve their communication of the Bola Tinubu administration’s achievements, warning that silence is allowing critics to dominate the public narrative.

The governor made the remarks on April 16, 2026, during the inaugural meeting of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja — a political mobilization vehicle established by President Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.

Sani serves as the RHA’s Deputy Director-General.

“We have all it takes to take the message of renewed hope to every ward, local government and state. We have not done enough. I believe we have to do more,” Sani said. “We have to continue telling our story. If we don’t tell our story, other people will tell the story their own way”.

The governor emphasized that appointees have a responsibility to actively promote government policies. “That is the reason why governors, ministers, LG chairmen must take the message of renewed hope to the grassroots,” he stated. “We in the North are the major beneficiaries. And the ministers, heads of agencies must speak out”.

Sani’s call was echoed by Gombe State Governor and RHA Secretary Mohammed Inuwa Yahaya, who similarly urged appointees to actively engage the public. Hope Uzodinma, Director-General of the RHA, also called for stronger grassroots engagement to promote government policies.

The remarks come amid persistent criticism from some northern political figures who have accused President Tinubu of marginalizing the region. Sani has previously rejected such claims, arguing that most of the region’s challenges are self-inflicted and that Tinubu has demonstrated commitment to the North through appointments and development projects.

At the April 16 meeting, Sani further noted: “No President in the history of Nigeria has supported the sub-nationals like President Tinubu. The opposition is not out to contest election; their agenda is anarchy”.
