In a rare and heartfelt exchange that underscored the growing wave of hope and transformation sweeping across Southern Kaduna, the Acting Paramount Leader of Akulu Chiefdom, Chief Dr. Anthony Ayasal, hosted Hon. Victor Mathew Bobai, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to Governor Uba Sani, in a private yet impactful conversation moderated by Privilege Magazine’s Kaduna Bureau Correspondent, Abraham Adeyemi.
The meeting, held at the Akulu Palace, became a powerful moment of reflection and renewed optimism as the two leaders expressed deep gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what they described as “unprecedented federal strides” in the historically marginalized region.
Celebrating Federal Inclusion and Development
Chief Ayasal was visibly moved as he praised the Tinubu administration for two landmark initiatives—the establishment of the Federal Medical Centre in Kafanchan and the Federal University of Applied Sciences in Kachia.
“These are not just projects; they are symbols of healing and recognition,” the Chief remarked. “For decades, our communities yearned for a federal presence. Today, President Tinubu is responding to that call—not with promises, but with action.”
Hon. Bobai reaffirmed that these milestones were the outcome of strategic alignment between the presidency and the Kaduna State Government.
“Governor Uba Sani has been deliberate in ensuring Southern Kaduna is not left behind. The President’s approval of these projects is evidence that the voice of Southern Kaduna now echoes within the corridors of Aso Rock,” Bobai said.
Security and Sacrifice: Honoring General CG Musa
The discussion also emphasized national security, with both leaders offering glowing tributes to the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, a proud son of Southern Kaduna, whose leadership has been instrumental in addressing security challenges across Nigeria.
“General Musa is not only a patriot; he is a peacebuilder. His intervention in our region has brought calm where chaos once ruled,” Chief Ayasal stated.
Hon. Bobai added that the CDS “has become a symbol of disciplined leadership, resilience, and military excellence,” and urged the people of Southern Kaduna to stand firmly behind him.
The Uba Sani Difference: A New Dawn in Kaduna Politics
Both Chief Ayasal and Hon. Bobai spoke passionately about Governor Uba Sani’s inclusive governance model, which they credited for reversing years of marginalization in Southern Kaduna.
“In less than two years, Governor Uba Sani has demonstrated more political will and sensitivity to our plight than what we experienced over an entire eight-year stretch under the last administration,” Chief Ayasal stated.
The Governor’s deliberate focus on infrastructure development, strategic appointments, youth engagement, and rural outreach was described as a “refreshing departure” from the era of political exclusion under former Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
“Governor Uba Sani listens. He responds. And most importantly, he acts,” Bobai emphasized.
A Call for Unity: Rallying Southern Kaduna Youth
As the engagement concluded, Chief Ayasal issued a stirring appeal to the people of Southern Kaduna, especially the youth, to rise above ethnic and political divisions and throw their support behind the leadership of President Tinubu, Governor Uba Sani, and General CG Musa.
“This is a rare moment in history. We now have leaders in the Presidency, in Kaduna, and in the military who are working in our interest. Let us not let division rob us of this opportunity,” he implored.
Hon. Bobai, while reinforcing the message, urged the youth to join credible mobilization structures like the Tinubu-Uba Leadership Network (TULN).
“The youth of Southern Kaduna must be seen and heard. Join the movement. Get involved. This is your moment to be useful, to shape your future, and to protect the gains we are beginning to see,” Bobai said.

In a region historically plagued by marginalization and insecurity, this conversation signaled a major shift—a convergence of traditional and political voices rallying behind credible leadership and a renewed federal presence.
The message is clear: Southern Kaduna is no longer asking to be heard—it is finally being heard.
And with youth joining the vanguard, the vision of a progressive, peaceful, and empowered region may finally be within reach.
