Shehu Sani Declares Interest In Kaduna Central Senatorial Seat For 2027
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has announced his intention to contest for re-election in the 2027 general elections.
Sani made the declaration on Sunday while delivering his Eid-el-Fitr message at his residence in Kaduna.
“Any politician contesting an election depends on the political equation that determines the position to vie for. If the conditions are right and the equations are favourable, I will offer myself to contest specifically for the Kaduna Central senatorial district,” he said.
He emphasised that his ambition remains secondary to ensuring the re-election of Governor Uba Sani for a second term.
“For now, our priority is to see that the incumbent governor, Uba Sani, is re-elected. We will work with all our might and strength to achieve this. We know there will be challenges and opposition, but we are well prepared for all forces,” he added.
Sani also urged Muslims to pray for Nigeria’s peace and unity during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
Additionally, he condemned the recent killing of hunters in Edo State, calling on security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators.
“If citizens cannot move freely across the country, then we are not truly a nation. If individuals take the law into their hands for any reason, it means there is no government or authority,” he stated.
He urged Nigerians to work towards peace and unity to preserve democracy despite prevailing challenges.
Sani further called on the government to uphold fundamental human rights, particularly the right to life, as a crucial step towards national stability and development.
