Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has selected the Executive Chairman of the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS), Jerry Adams, as his running mate for the 2027 governorship election.
Adams, who assumed leadership of KADIRS in 2023, is from Southern Kaduna.
Announcing the choice, Governor Sani said the decision was reached after consultations and was aimed at promoting inclusion, fairness and balanced representation across the state.
The governor described the selection as part of efforts to ensure equitable participation and strengthen unity among the people of Kaduna State.
He described Adams as an experienced public servant and tax administrator whose tenure at the revenue agency had supported the state’s fiscal capacity.
The current Deputy Governor, Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, is ineligible to seek a third consecutive term under constitutional term limits.
Governor Sani stated that the choice aligns with his administration’s focus on merit, competence and broader representation across the state.
