2027: Youth group seeks Shehu Sani’s return to Senate

A group of youths from Kaduna Central Zone has canvassed for the return of Senator Shehu Sani to the Senate in 2027, while urging citizens in the State to support the project.

The group, led by Amina Buba Ahmed, Lucky Ibrahim Kajuru, and Sylvester Bobai, in a press statement at the weekend and made available to journalists, cited the need for a vocal and bold representative who can address the pressing issues of youth unemployment and provide a voice for the people that are marginalized.

According to the group, Senator Shehu Sani’s previous tenure in the Senate was marked by his unwavering commitment to the welfare of the people, particularly the youths, saying that “his bold stance against the oppressive regime of Governor El-Rufai in Kaduna earned him recognition as a champion of the people”.

The youths said, “Senator Shehu Sani’s return to the Senate would provide them with a strong advocate who can push for policies and programs that address the needs of the youths and other Nigerians.

“We lack a voice in Nigeria, and Senator Shehu Sani is one of the few leaders who has consistently spoken truth to power,” said Ahmed.

“We need a senator who can stand up for us, who can fight for our rights, and who can provide us with opportunities. Senator Shehu Sani has a track record of doing just that.”

The Kaduna Central Zone youths further stressed the need for “the vocal senator who can represent the interests of Kaduna Central, pointing out that “we have been quiet for too long, and it’s time for us to demand more from our representatives and Senator Shehu Sani is the right person to do that.”

The group added: “his return to the Senate will give assurance to many youths in Kaduna Central, who see him as a beacon of hope in a time of uncertainty. As the 2027 elections approach, it remains to be seen whether Senator Shehu Sani will heed the call and return to the Senate to continue his fight for the people.”
