BREAKING: Shehu Sani To Run For Senate In 2027

A former senator who represented Kaduna central district in the Eighth Senate, Shehu Sani, has declared his intention to contest for the seat again come 2027.

Sani made the declaration during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations at his Kaduna residence.

“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 favorable, I will offer myself to contest, specifically for the Kaduna central senatorial district,” he stated.

The social media activist however emphasised that he would place the re-election of the Kaduna governor, Uba Sani in 2027 above his own aspiration.

“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 urged Muslims to pray for peace and unity during and after the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.

He condemned the recent killing of hunters in Edo State and called 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 lamented.

He called on Nigerians who desire a better country to work towards peace and unity for the preservation of democracy, despite the challenges facing the nation.

Sani also urged the government to uphold fundamental human rights, particularly the right to life, saying it’s a crucial step towards development and stability.
