Former Senator Shehu Sani has thrown his support behind the re-election of Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, in the 2027 elections while taking a swipe at former Governor Nasir El-Rufai.
Sani, who recently rejoined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made this known on Sunday.
He stated that his return to the APC was driven by his commitment to supporting Governor Uba Sani and moving past what he described as a difficult political period in Kaduna State.
“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.
Taking a jab at El-Rufai, he remarked, “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.”
Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the Eighth Senate, also advised political leaders to govern with fairness and justice, warning against the abuse of power.
“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 added.
