Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has named the Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), Jerry Adams, as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
Governor Sani said the decision followed wide consultations across different segments of the state.
According to him, the choice was guided by the need to promote inclusion, fairness and balanced representation in Kaduna’s political structure.
Adams, a native of Southern Kaduna, was appointed Executive Chairman of KADIRS in 2023 and has since overseen tax administration and revenue reforms in the state.
The governor described him as a competent public servant whose experience in public finance and administration would strengthen the administration’s development agenda.
According to Sani, the nomination reflects his government’s commitment to merit, competence and equitable representation across Kaduna State.
The development also means the current Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, will not return on the 2027 ticket.
