“Igabi Lawmaker Throws Weight Behind Shehu Sani, Says ‘Kaduna Central Needs a Fighter, Not a Follower’”

A member of the House of Representatives representing Igabi Federal Constituency, Hon. Hussaini Muhammad Jallo, has paid a strategic visit to former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, publicly endorsing his bid to return to the Senate ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The meeting, which took place in Kaduna, saw the federal lawmaker describe Sani as a seasoned legislator with a proven track record of effective representation, deep grassroots connection, and principled advocacy. Hon. Jallo stressed that his endorsement was driven by the urgent need to rally behind credible and experienced leaders capable of advancing the true interests of the people.

According to Jallo, Sani’s previous tenure in the Senate was defined by bold interventions on national issues, particularly in the areas of human rights, anti-corruption, and social justice. He added that the former senator remains a strong voice for the downtrodden and a dependable figure in Kaduna politics.

“The people of Kaduna Central deserve tested leadership. My visit today is not just symbolic but a clear statement of support for a man who has consistently stood with the masses. We don’t need followers in the Senate; we need fighters,” Hon. Jallo said.

In his response, Shehu Sani expressed deep appreciation for the visit and endorsement, describing it as a demonstration of unity and shared vision among political stakeholders in the state. He reaffirmed his commitment to inclusive representation and promised to prioritize the welfare of his constituents if elected.

Political observers note that the endorsement may further strengthen Sani’s position within the All Progressives Congress (APC) as consultations and alignments intensify ahead of the party primaries. The development is seen as part of broader political realignments in Kaduna State, where key actors are beginning to signal their preferred candidates for various elective positions ahead of the next electoral cycle.
