Former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has announced his intention to contest in the 2027 general elections for a return to the Senate.
Sani made his declaration on Sunday while delivering his Eid-el-Fitr message at his residence in Kaduna.
“Any politician contesting an election relies 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.
However, Sani emphasized 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.
During his speech, Sani urged Muslims to use the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations as an opportunity to pray for Nigeria’s peace and unity.
He also condemned the recent killing of hunters in Edo State. Calling on security agencies to bring the perpetrators to justice.
“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 called on Nigerians to work together for peace and unity, despite challenges facing the country. Additionally, he urged the government to uphold fundamental human rights, particularly the right to life, as a key step toward national stability and development.
