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.”
