2027: We need opposition in democracy – Shehu Sani

As political realignments gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, Senator Shehu Sani has stressed the need for a vibrant and credible opposition, warning that democracy cannot thrive without it.

Sani spoke at a press briefing in Kaduna while reacting to the saga surrounding former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai..

“I must warn Nigerians we need an opposition, we need opposition in any democracy because without opposition a nation stands the chance of sliding into grief,” he said.

The former lawmaker, however, questioned the integrity of those currently positioning themselves as alternative leaders ahead of the next general election.

“But the question you have to ask yourself is are these people who are parading themselves as opposition, are they credible enough to present an alternative to each and every one of us. These are questions we must ask them,” Sani stated.

He argued that many individuals now claiming to be opposition figures were part of previous administrations which, according to him, contributed to Nigeria’s current challenges. Sani maintained that Nigerians must look beyond familiar political actors in 2027 and demand leaders with proven integrity.
