By; JACOB ONJEWU DICKSON
Ahead of the Saturday Governorship elections across Nigeria, the former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani has backed the re-election bid of the All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate and current Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-olu.
According to him, though the recent presidential election results reveal the overt threats from the Labour Party in Lagos State, it’s time the voters in the State shun all forms of sentiments and considered experience; capacity and ability to work and deliver on campaign promises.
He also said in a cosmopolitan State such as Lagos,people shouldn’t vote along line of sentiments, especially when Sanwo-Olu is a working clock and working machine,who has consolidated on the good works of all his predecessors.
Senator Shehu Sani, who stated this in an interview with some journalists on his view about the forthcoming March 18 gubernatorial elections across Nigeria said in his views that, “Stopping Sanwo-olu is stopping the wheel of progress.”
Fielding question on why as a PDP member, he decided to support Sanwo-Olu of APC for Lagos Governor instead the PDP candidate , the former Lawmaker said, ” It’s true that I am a member of the People’s Democratic Party ,but from the PDP’s performance during the Presidential election in Lagos , it obvious that the battle is between APC and Labour Party .For me, the leadership record of Sanwo-olu is inspiring.I’m not from Lagos, but Lagosians should vote for him.
On attacks on Igbos and their Properties , Sani said ,”Lagos is not a no man’s land, but it’s wrong to attack the Igbos.They are there, because they believe in one Nigeria. The constitution guarantees every citizen the right to live anywhere.
“I don’t know about the Labour candidate but it appears he is a man of honour and with great ideas. The challenge he poses is good for democracy.”
