Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has announced his intention to contest for the senatorial seat in the 2027 elections.
Speaking at his residence in Kaduna on Sunday, March 30, 2025, while delivering his Eid-el-Fitr message, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain stated that his decision would depend on the political landscape leading up to the election.
The former lawmaker also stated that his priority is to see Governor Uba Sani re-elected in 2027, noting that the party is well prepared for all forces and challenges that might threaten his re-election.
He said, “Any politician who is going to contest election will be dependent on political equation which will determine what position is going to contest. I would say that if the conditions are right and equations favourable, I will offer myself to contest but specifically on the central senatorial district.
“If the people of Kaduna central want us to provide our own kind of leadership and representation at the NASS, you should expect me back to Senate in 2027.
“For now, we want to see that incumbent governor, Uba Sani is re-elected. We are going to do it with all our might and strength. We know that there are going to be challenges and opposition but we are well prepared for all the forces.”
While condemning the killing of hunters in Edo State, Sani urged security agencies to fish out the perpetrators.
He added, “If any citizen of this country cannot move from one part of the country to another, then we are not a nation.
“If someone will use one reason or another to take laws into his/her hand, then it means there is no government or authority.”
