Shehu Sani Eyes 2027 Senate Race Amid Plans To Back Governor Uba Sani’s Re-election

Shehu Sani Sets His Sights on Returning to the Senate in 2027

Here’s the scoop: Shehu Sani, the senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th National Assembly, has officially thrown his hat into the ring for the 2027 senatorial election. In an announcement that sent ripples through political circles, Sani made it clear that he’s eyeing a return to the Senate, representing the central senatorial district. This declaration came during his Eid-el-Fitr message on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at his residence in Kaduna, where he addressed supporters and party members.

Let’s break this down a bit more. Sani isn’t just jumping into the race blindly. He emphasized that his decision to run will depend on the political climate and whether the conditions align in his favor. He said, “If the stars align and the political equation works in my favor, you can count on me to step up and contest. But let’s be clear—my focus is on the central senatorial district. That’s where I want to make an impact.”

Backing Governor Uba Sani’s Re-election: A Top Priority

While Sani is setting the stage for his own political ambitions, he’s also firmly committed to supporting Governor Uba Sani’s re-election bid in 2027. He stressed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is fully prepared to face any challenges or opposition that might arise during the campaign. “We’re not backing down,” Sani declared. “We know there will be hurdles, but we’re ready for whatever comes our way.”

In fact, Sani went on to say that re-electing Governor Uba Sani is not just a priority but a mission. He explained, “The people of Kaduna have entrusted us with the responsibility to ensure continuity in leadership. We’ve seen what Governor Uba Sani has done for our state, and we want to see that progress continue. We’re going all-in to make sure he gets another term.”

Addressing National Security Concerns

But Sani didn’t stop there. He also took the opportunity to address pressing national security issues, particularly the recent killings of hunters in Edo State. Sani condemned the violence and called on security agencies to step up and bring the perpetrators to justice. “This is unacceptable,” he said. “If any citizen in this country can’t move freely from one state to another, then we’re not truly a nation. We need to ensure that everyone feels safe and protected, no matter where they are.”

He added, “We can’t have individuals or groups taking the law into their own hands. If that happens, it undermines the authority of the government and the rule of law. We need to send a strong message: violence and vigilantism have no place in our society.”

Shehu Sani’s announcement has certainly stirred the political pot, and it’ll be fascinating to see how things unfold as we head toward the 2027 elections. One thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning of what promises to be an intense and dynamic political season.
