Sen. Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly between 2015 and 2019 has declared interest to contest governorship in 2023.
Speaking during a radio interview in Kaduna on Saturday, Shehu Sani said he was joining the race under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to rescue Kaduna state from the mess created by governor Nasir el-Rufai.
“We sat with my loyalists and supporters and they wanted me to contest the governor of Kaduna State which I will do to remove APC, God willing; to remove anointed candidate of the state governor and to enter Government House where comrade will be sworn in as the next governor that will bring changes, that will clean all the dirt they brought in the state in the name of development.
“I will bring security. This is what my supporters wanted and I trust them. So, I will contest the governorship seat under the PDP. Therefore, I call on the people of Kaduna to support and collaborate with me.
“I also solicit their prayers; I need the prayers of religious leaders, marketers, physically challenged, women and youths. You voted for Malam as governor, what remains now is to have a comrade as governor so as to see the difference between us.
“You must reject the anointed candidate of those who demolished your houses. Support us to see how we form a government that respects the will of the poor in the state,” he said.
Sani warned the people of the state that money politics was what brought the country into “mess under the ruling party”, adding that if the masses voted for him with or without money, he would win.
