Vote Out APC In 2019, Shehu Sani Tells Nigerians
BY AMOS TAUNA, KADUNA – The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone, Senator Shehu Sani, has called on Nigerians to vote the ruling party, All Progressive Congress, APC, out of government in the forthcoming general elections in the country.
Addressing the Igbo Youths’ Peace and Unity Initiative in Kaduna on Thursday, Sani told them that Nigerians and Kaduna state citizens are currently sick and need people that will rescue them from the evil the current ruling party has caused the nation.
He appreciated the spirit, the faith and the Igbo Youths’ decision to support his campaign and bid for re-election as a senator to represent Kaduna Central. He declared, “We must not deceive ourselves. We must tell ourselves the truth, the nation is sick, the state is sick.
“Nigerians expected a better deal than what we are having today. People who begged you three and half years ago to vote them have turned themselves to demi gods. Oppressing the poor, retrenching the poor, marginalising the poor and unleashing evil against the poor.
“We have seen how poverty has ravaged the lives of Nigerians in the last three and half years, we have seen the killings, the level of bloodshed and violence, we have seen the division, the hopelessness, we have seen how a governor of a state have sacked thousands of people out of their work.
“How on earth do we give another opportunity to a man who has no human face, who has no human heart? They want the seat of Shehu Sani in order to continue to enslave you. We are moving out of Egypt. Those people in power in Kaduna state represent the wall of Jericho that has to be pulled down.
“I am here seeking for your votes, support and prayers that we must not allow any stooge to take over the Kaduna Central senatorial seat. If the governor of this state wants to compensate his boy he should find a job for him but not the Kaduna central senatorial seat.
“Kaduna central seat is not for sale, is not for a running dog, not for a puppy, is not for a puppet, and is not for a hand bag boy. When you re-elect us into office, you are re-electing politics of principle, courage, bravery and value.
“You should not elect people who will go and do the bidding of their godfathers. Elect people who will do the bidding of the poor, the down trodden, the traders, the artisan, the mechanic, civil servants and the beggars in the street.
“You have a date with history on the 16t of February, 2019 to show these people out of power. It is unfortunate that our country, a very blessed one but the leaders have identified with negative activities and evil actions.
“From the killings in Zamfara to Birnin Gwari, the killings in the North-east part of Nigeria and North- central, of herdsmen. We have a duty to send a clear message to the leadership of the country that we can show you the way out just as the previous government was shown the way out of power.
“Why they want Shehu Sani out is because they want to replace him with their puppy. The one that will go there and be hunting money for them, the one that will help them to steal, the one that will help them to put World Bank Debt on all of you. Since they could not get me to sign the $350m loan, so they want somebody who can go and sign and bring it to them. They are going about removing our posters and billboards, but if they are popular, why are they doing what they are doing?
“I am calling on you to know that it is not just your vote that is needed but also you must be the campaign agent of this movement. This is not a campaign team but a movement to deliver our people out of the hands of Pharaoh.”
Earlier in his address, the leader of the Igbo group, Pastor Anthony Akwusiobi, told Senator Shehu Sani that their resolve to vote him come February 16, 2019 was based on his track record at National Assembly and his selfless services to humanity.
“We have monitored your activities at the Senate since this three and half years. Your quality representation to the people of Kaduna Central is second to known. We have also monitored your selfless services to the less privileged, the orphans, widows and destitute.
“We know how many a times you have gone to prison to release the weak that the present government has jailed. We want to assure you that the time has come for us to stand by you.
“We are ready, and the Angels of God who have taken notice of all the good things you have done for humanity, we will not abandon you at this moment. We have taken three local government areas, Igabi, Kajuru and Chikun, every soul here is capable of 50 more votes to his or herself. We will spread the gospel across the local government areas until we conquer,” Akwusiobi promised.
