The Senator, representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu Sani, said on Thursday that his assistance to the less privileged has nothing to do with his rumoured ambition to contest the 2019 governorship race in the state.
He maintained that his aim was to serve his constituency meritoriously at the upper chamber of the National Assembly and fulfill his 2015 election promises.
Sani, who is the President, Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, spoke while distributing camels and cow to representatives of the seven local government areas in the senatorial zone at the Zango Livestock Market, Tudun-Wada, Kaduna, on Thursday.
He said, “People are saying that I am taking advantage of assisting people as a plan for 2019 governorship race. For now, my very important focus is to see how I will use the opportunity of my senatorial seat to serve my people in conformity with the pledges and promises I made to them before the 2015 election.
“You can’t stop people from talking and praying for you; but for now, I want to make sure that I please and appease them.”
At the event, the Senator said a total of 12 camels and eight cow, in addition to food stuffs worth over N15m, had been distributed during the month of Ramadan.
He added that in the past 28 days, his office had been involved in the feeding of the poor in the seven LGAs in the zone.
On the reason for distributing camels, Sani explained that camels symbolised endurance, resilience and courage, adding that “and this is what all Nigerians need at this very time of Sallah.”
The lawmaker added, “In the last 28 days, my office has been involved in a programme of feeding the poor in the seven LGA of my zone and to my own very ward for them to celebrate Sallah with it.
“Today, I am here to share 12 camels and eight cow to people within my senatorial district.
“This is in addition to food stuffs of over N15m distributed since the beginning of Ramadan till date.
“I am here in fulfillment of that very promise to feed my people and to make sure the Sallah turns out to be a memorable one for them.
