Former lawmaker and civil rights activist, Senator Shehu Sani, has declared his support for the re-election of Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, in the 2027 elections.
Sani, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) back to the All Progressives Congress (APC), made this known during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Abuja.
“By virtue of the political equation in Kaduna State, if I happen to secure a ticket to return to the Senate in 2027, I will be glad. But if I do not, I will still be at peace knowing that we have ensured Uba’s re-election as governor,” Sani stated.
Sani explained that his return to the APC was motivated by the need to support Uba Sani and to move on from what he described as a difficult political period in Kaduna State.
Apparently referring to El-Rufai, he said: “I am very pleased that Kaduna State has rid itself of the tormentor that plagued it politically. That was the reason many of us who left the APC for the PDP had to return en masse to the APC recently.”
The former senator, who represented Kaduna Central in the Eighth Senate, stated that power is temporary and advised those in authority to govern with fairness and justice.
“If God has blessed you with power, use it to positively impact the masses. But if you become intoxicated with power—abusing it, arresting people, and unleashing terror—a day will come when you will be out of power,” he warned.
