The senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th National Assembly, Shehu Sani has declared interest 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.
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.”
According to him, his ambition is secondary while that of re-electing governor Sani for second term is primary.
He reiterated that his priority is to see Governor Uba Sani re-elected 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,” he added.
Sani however urged Muslims to pray for peace and unity of Nigeria during the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr.
He also condemned the killing of hunters in Edo State, urging security agencies to fish-out the perpetrators.
He said, “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,” he stated.
He added that Nigerians who desire good for the country should work for peace and unity for the preservation of democracy in the phase of challenges that is being experienced by the people.
Sani called on government to save Nigeria, saying that there should be respect for fundamental rights and most importantly, respect to right to life.
