Senator Shehu Sani who represented the Kaduna Central in the
8th National Assembly and Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship aspirant has
said he will end banditry and revive the textile industries if elected as Kaduna
State governor in 2023.
Sani said it was unacceptable that bandits decide the fate
of citizens of the state, adding that residents could only sleep with their two
eyes closed in just two of the 23 Local Government Areas of the state.
The PDP governorship hopeful spoke while addressing
journalists at the Nigeria Union of Journalists’ Secretariat in Kaduna on
Tuesday ahead of the party’s primary.
Sani maintained that remained the only aspirant that could
defeat the ruling party in the state in the race to the Sir Kashim Ibrahim
Government House, Kaduna in the 2023 governorship election.
He noted that he was not disputing the facts that all the
six other governorship aspirants of the platform were eminently qualified, but
added that he was the only aspirant that could confront the state Governor,
Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
The former lawmaker said, “my aspiration is not a do or die
affair. my aspiration is informed by the fact that the state is badly governed
by the APC, and I have a list of agendas on the ground to solve the problems.
“I am out to unite the people of Kaduna State. I am a bridge
that can unite the people of southern and northern parts of Kaduna who have
been divided on so many fronts. I want to correct the inequality created by
this APC government.
“I will also address the security challenges in the state.
Kaduna has become a bad example as one of the most insecure states in Nigeria,
with the government being helpless.
“There are 23 local government areas in Kaduna state and 21
local governments are under security siege. It is only in Kaduna North and
Kaduna South that you sleep with your eyes closed.
“It has been 49 days since people have been kidnapped in the
Abuja-Kaduna train and the victims are still in captivity.
“As governor, I will ensure that security is manned by
experts who are well trained to address insecurity and not journalists.
Sani added, “Kaduna State people today are at the mercy of
bandits who now decide who dies and who survives. How come there is no Banditry
in most parts of the North but Kaduna.
“I want to address the security challenges in the state. I
will not be a governor that will say the security of my people is in the hands
of the FG, I will answer my name as the chief security officer.
“When leaders cannot protect you from bandits and
terrorists, they have no business being govt. The people of Kaduna are at the
mercy of bandits.
“Another major agenda I have is the reactivation of moribund
textile industries in Kaduna and provide necessary employment to our people.
“I will also embark on infrastructural development which
will not only be about the city. I will spread development across all the local
government areas.
“Kaduna is presently under tyranny. Therefore, I will
discontinue bad legacies of the APC but continue with local government election
where even the opposition can will election.”
