Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Comrade Shehu Sani has called on Nigerians to re-elect the All Progressive Congress Party, APC into power come 2019 election as it not only represents the hope and interest of the common man in Nigeria but represents continuity. President Buhari’s integrity is such to be reckoned with. He said.

“And for the very fact that we have a president that has become a symbol of discipline and integrity is a very big plus and a reason for us to be re-elected”.

Senator Shehu Sani made this call while speaking with journalists at his residence where he hosted people with disabilities to sallah feast saying every human being has the right to equal treatment.

The lawmaker however acknowledged the fact that the party has been faced with some challenges which he said it tries to surmount.

“But we cannot in every way say there were no challenges and there were no weaknesses. The pervasive insecurity particularly in the middle belt area is of major concern.

Compulsions and convulsions we have also seen in the ruling political party that have led to the exists of many people out of the party. That is also a challenge.

We have also seen the level of poverty and unemployment. It is still very high. This is also a challenge.

Even in the midst of these challenges, Buhari’s administration the lawmaker said has recorded some measureable achievements.

“ The very fact that Nigeria today is more peaceful than it was in the past  is also an achievement that we should all take very seriously. And most importantly, Nigerian identity is also a source of pride today. That is also an achievement.

“You should elect the APC back to power for the very fact that it represents hope it also represents continuity and also represents the interest of the common man in Nigeria.

“ I humbly invited you today to my house for us to have sallah feast. I am not bringing them here because it is some few months to the general election. I have always been with them from the first day up to date. They are here with me to celebrate sallah and for us to pray for our country for its peace, for its unity and also for its progress.

“ These people have a role to play in electing people that would serve and protect their interest. It is wrong for government in the country to be driving away people living with disabilities or discriminate against them. If you rehabilitate them, they should be supported and should also be empowered. They are part of our society. We should embrace them. We should recognize them and we should give them the necessary respect they deserve. He ended.
