Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has nominated Jerry Adams, the Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
This development came to fore after wide consultations, deep reflection and earnest prayers, I am delighted to announce the nomination of Mr Jerry Adams, FCTI, FNIM, CNA, as my running mate in the 2027 Governorship Election,” the governor wrote on his X handle on Tuesday. 
The nomination marks the first time in seven years that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has fielded a Christian as its deputy governorship candidate in Kaduna State, signalling a departure from the party’s Muslim-Muslim governorship tickets in the 2019 and 2023 elections.
According to the governor, the nomination reflects his administration’s commitment to inclusion, justice, fairness and equitable representation across the state.
“This decision is far greater than the selection of a deputy governorship candidate. It is a reaffirmation of the values that have guided our administration since I took the oath of office on 29 May 2023; the values of inclusion, justice, fairness, equity and the unwavering conviction that every citizen of Kaduna State deserves a genuine sense of belonging,” the governor said.
