Former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has secured the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the Kaduna Central Senatorial District seat.
The development confirms his official entry into the race ahead of the 2027 elections, as political activities intensify within the ruling party.
Sani, a former civil rights activist who previously served in the Senate, remains a notable figure in Nigeria’s political space.
The APC had earlier announced that the sale of nomination forms would run from April 25 to May 2, 2026, while submission of completed forms will close on May 4, 2026.
Screening of aspirants is slated for May 6 to May 9 across various elective positions.
Primary elections are scheduled to commence on May 15, 2026, beginning with the House of Representatives, and will conclude with the presidential primaries on May 23, 2026.
