Former lawmaker representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, Has Received his Nomination Certificates for the forthcoming Kaduna Political Awards.
Shehu Sani, who has the highest Kaduna Political Awards Nominations, received his Nomination Certificates under “The Most Vocal Opposition”, ‘Personality Of The Year” and “Man Of The People” categories.
In his acceptance speech he said, “Distinguished leaders of the Kaduna Political Affairs, distinguished members of the press, i must profoundly apologise for the delay in this meeting. I welcome you to my residence and also i must profoundly appreciate the honour of your presence and the Nomination Certificates presented to me by your organization. Award is a recognition and appreciation of one’s own contribution or effort or human investment. I also believe that an award is a booster and challenge for one to do more. So i gladly and honourably accept this award nomination hoping that when the process is completed at least I’ll win one of these awards. Having said that, i want to use this opportunity to appreciate your intervention in the Political space. It is dangerous and risky for citizens at times like this to fold their arms while the nation is burning. Political intervention by non Politicians will bring reason, morality and rationality into the space of politics. Professional Politicians have not been able to solve the problems of Nigeria, they have even become the problem of the country itself. So i am highly delighted to see that an intervention like yours, can possibly give a new direction, new focus and new thinking to the Political space as it exists. Non Governmental organizations have become so commercialised In terms of giving awards to undeserving Nigerians, but your process that begins with nomination, your process that also involves popular votes and popular participation of Nigerians in terms of making their own decisions as regards to different categories of this award is innovative and creative in the spectrum of appreciation of patriotic Nigerians.”
