Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Kaduna Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Muhammad Sani Abdullahi (Dattijo) on Tuesday joined the 2023 governorship race.<\/p>\n

The former Chief of Staff says he will ensure continuity in governance and the state\u2019s evolving development.<\/p>\n

Dattijo promised to sustain Governor Nasir El-Rufai\u2019s achievements, build on them, expand security and grow a vibrant economy.<\/p>\n

In a declaration statement, the aspirant said he was privileged to learn from his principal and understudy the All Progressives Congress (APC) government policy intervention.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last 7 years, I have had the unique opportunity to work closely with and support our Governor in his efforts to transform our dear state.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs even his harshest critics will accept, the period from 2015- date is the most historic development our state has witnessed since its creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident of my ability to sustain all that has been achieved so far and continue to Move Kaduna Forward\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n

Dattijo further stressed the need to ensure that the gains are not reversed \u201cunder whatever circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

The international development expert served as special adviser to former United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.<\/p>\n

He was, in 2018, appointed by the World Bank as a member of the Expert Advisory Council on citizen engagement.<\/p>\n

Dattijo\u2019s declaration came on the same day Senator Uba Sani (representing Kaduna Central) declared his intention to run for governor.<\/p>\n
