2023: El-Rufai Has Anointed Candidate, But I’ll Defeat Them — Shehu Sani

The former representative of Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, has accused the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, of having anointed a candidate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.

He said this over the weekend during a radio interview monitored by the media on the political situation in the state.

Sani said El-Rufai had anointed a candidate for the All Progressives Congress platform for the 2023 election in the state.

However, he said with the backing of members of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, he would defeat the governor’s candidate.

He said El-Rufai had offended so many people in the state with his way of speaking to them.

He said: “Anyone who insults and embarrasses the people is not worth being in power because respecting human being is very important in religion.

“It’s left for the Peoples Democratic Party to unite its members to ensure that they form a government that will respect the will of the poor in Kaduna.

“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 for 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 a 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.

“I don’t have money to share to delegates to vote for me.

“Money politics is what brought the country into the mess under the ruling party.

“If the masses decide to vote for me, with or without money, I will win.”
