Shehu Sani has declared interest to recontest for a Senate seat in 2027 after his stint as a Senator in the 8th National Assembly in which he represented Kaduna Central on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Sani declared his new bid on Sunday while delivering his Eid-el-Fitr message at his residence in Kaduna.
Said he: “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 in the [Kaduna] 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.”
He stressed that his ambition is secondary with the re-electing Kaduna Governor Uba Sani for second term in 2027 his primary goal, per reporting by LEADERSHIP newspaper.
“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.
Sani urged Muslims to pray for peace and unity of Nigeria during the celebration of Eid-el-Fitr, and condemned the killing of Northern hunters in Edo, urging security agencies to fish-out the perpetrators.
“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.
Sani urged Nigerians who desire good for the country to work for peace and unity for the preservation of democracy in the face of social and economic hardship being experienced by citizens.
He called on the government to save Nigeria, saying there should be respect for fundamental rights and most importantly, respect to right to life.
