 Shehu Sani reveals plans to return to senate in 2027


A former Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has said he has the plan to make a return to the red chamber in 2027.

Sani made this known on Sunday at his Kaduna residence. He said, “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 favourable, I will offer myself to contest specifically for the Kaduna Central senatorial district.”

Sani, who was in the Senate from 2015 to 2019, however, said  his primary focus was to see that Governor Uba Sani was elected for a second term.

He stated, “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.”

The former senator condemned the recent killing of hunters in Edo State. He said, “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.”
