Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna Central Senatorial District, including all seven local government chairmen of the district, have endorsed former lawmaker, Shehu Sani, as their preferred candidate for the 2027 Senate election.
The endorsement was announced at a gathering of party leaders and stakeholders in Kaduna, where the Kaduna State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Sadiq Mamman Lagos, said the decision reflected a collective position rather than an individual choice.

“We are here not to do anything but to endorse a candidate for the election coming up in January 2027,” he said.
“These are the major stakeholders, elected local government chairmen, party executives and key figures. This decision was not made by me; it is by endorsement of the major stakeholders in the central zone.”
He emphasised that the move does not eliminate the possibility of party primaries. “We never said there would not be primary elections in Kaduna Central, but the party and major stakeholders have endorsed someone based on credibility and political popularity,” Lagos stated.
