Shehu Sani, senator representing
Kaduna central, has launched his re-election bid on the platform of the Peoples
Redemption Party (PRP).
Sani named Monday Onyebuchi, a
Kaduna-born Igbo man, as the director-general of his campaign.
The senator had resigned from the
All Progressives Congress (APC) following the controversies which trailed the
party’s primaries for the 2019 elections.
“Today, I’m launching my bid for
re-election to the senate to represent Kaduna Central as the flag bearer of the
People’s Redemption Party PRP,” Sani said on Tuesday.
“I seek to represent you in order
to remain your force for freedom and your voice for justice. I seek for your
new mandate in order to continue to defend and project your interest.
“I appointed a Kaduna born and
based Igbo man, Chief Monday Onyebuchi, as my Campaign DG.
“You have a choice in Kaduna
central; to vote for me or to vote for a sit-in stooge who will be there to
keep the seat for the Governor.
“The future of your country is in
your thumb. You either move to the promised land or remain in Egypt.”
Read his full speech below:
Today, I’m launching my bid for
re election to the senate to represent Kaduna Central as the flag bearer of the
People’s Redemption Party PRP.
I’m here again to seek the
support, the solidarity and the votes of the people of Kaduna central for the
upcoming general elections slated in February 2019.
I seek to represent you in order
to remain your force for freedom and your voice for justice. I seek for your
new mandate in order to continue to defend and project your interest.
I have in the last three and half
years been able to stand for you and speak for you within and outside of the
senate. I have also been able to positively impact on the lives of so many of
you through visible and verifiable intervention projects and empowerment
programs.
This is another phase in the
history of our country and in your lives, to take a decision and make a choice
of where your future should be.
In the last three and half years,
you have endured suffering, hardships and deaths. You have become victims of
false promises and arrogance of power in Kaduna state. You were afflicted with
a leadership that is so destructive and treacherous. You were caged and
exploited by a crude right wing parasitic leadership that latched and hang on
the name of your President.
Iniquitous and failed leadership
in Kaduna has turned the state into a hub for Kidnappings,religious extremism
and deaths.The Government in Kaduna is lead by a divisive emperor unjust to
both Christians as well as Muslims.He rules and want to continue to rule by
exploiting your diversity and religious differences.Reject APC in Kaduna state
and anyone associated with it.
A nation on the precipice,on the
cliff, must carefully gauge its option before moving to the next level.The
Senate should not be a refuge for political protection, it should not be an old
people’s home,it should not be a pensioners station or a reward home for
stooges and loyalists. The Parliament is the most important organ of Government
that needs people of principles, intellect and capacity to hold sacred the
baton of representation.
You have a choice in Kaduna
central; to vote for me or to vote for a sit in stooge who will be there to
keep the seat for the Governor.
The PRP is not one of the two big
parties. The two big parties will depend on their might and strengths but we
will depend on our honour, our spirit, our faith and our ageless and untiring
and unwavering bond with the masses.
You have been through the tunnel
of horror, you must not end up into another one of tragedy. The ruling party
has no enough stock of honour and justice to dispense even to its members not
to talk of others. They will depend on the use of state resources to buy your
votes and your conscience and use the state machinery to repress you, but you
must remain firm to defend your votes.
The future of your country is in
your thumb. You either move to the promised land or remain in Egypt.
President Buhari is a good and
honest man, but a demanding leadership in a nation of myriads of challenges
needs more than sainthood. Present and future Nigeria doesn’t need a senate of
lackeys, satraps, puppies and puppets, Stooges in the senate cannot hold the
executive to account. If you have a Parliament inhabited and dominated by
puppets and puppies, you will have a tyranny in your country.
Even if ruling party tickets were
for sale as its done at the gate of the theatre, the opera, the tollgate, the
stadia, you must not sale your conscience and votes.
Today, here at the home of Alhaji
Balarabe Musa, the living conscience of the nation, I formally launch my bid
for re-election to represent Kaduna Central in the Senate of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
