Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has declared his intention to run for re-election in the 2027 general elections.
The announcement was made on Sunday during his Eid-el-Fitr message at his residence in Kaduna.
Sani stated that his decision to contest would depend on the political climate and the conditions at the time.
“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 favorable, I will offer myself to contest specifically for the Kaduna Central senatorial district,” he said.
However, Sani emphasised that his primary focus is to support 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 the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, Sani also called on Muslims to pray for the peace and unity of Nigeria. He condemned the recent killings of hunters in Edo State, urging security agencies to track down and apprehend the perpetrators.
“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 lamented.
