Referring to Sani's constant use of social media for public commentary, the APC spokesman said governance is:
“Governance is a serious activity, meant for those with a track record of serious endeavours, vision, values, and clear policies. It is not for idle bloggers that think that decades of scavenging off the woes of people qualify them for leadership.
“Neither is it for persons whose record as civil servants contains no hint that they are capable of serious responsibility. It is not for persons who for two years remained clueless when fate handed them power, concentrating instead on their own vain looks and grand titles.
“This cast of characters is clear evidence that the PDP is clearly wedded to the sorry past, but the people of Kaduna state have moved on.
“It is this Nasir El-Rufai APC government that on 27 May 2017 completed the Zaria Water Project that had been abandoned by two PDP governors after Governor Namadi Sambo who initiated it before he was appointed Vice President of Nigeria.
“Phases 1 and II of the Zaria Water Project have since been completed. With Phase III, the project is being extended to supply water to neighbouring local governments, besides Zaria and Sabon-Gari LGAs who were the first beneficiaries.”
How Shehu Sani declared his interest in governing Kaduna
Legit.ng had earlier declared that Senator Sani indicated his interest to contest for the number seat in Kaduna in 2023 during an interview on a radio station in the state, Invicta FM.
Sani who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District between 2015 and 2019, called on the people of the state to support him.
He enjoined the PDP to put its house in order so it can take over as a government that will respect the will of the poor in Kaduna.
