Shehu Sani Lists 16 Campaign Promises to Reject for 2027

Shehu Sani, a former Senator from Kaduna and a rights activist, has released a list of 16 campaign promises that he urges Nigerians to reject in the upcoming 2027 elections. He cautions citizens against being misled by politicians who make pledges they do not intend to keep.

Sani encourages voters to engage in critical thinking regarding these promises, which include commitments such as never changing political parties, serving only one term, restructuring Nigeria, and not favoring any ethnic or religious group. Other pledges include avoiding dealings with the IMF and World Bank, not borrowing, restoring subsidies, and ensuring the naira equals the dollar.

Sani's remarks come as political activity intensifies ahead of the 2027 elections, with parties and candidates positioning themselves. Notably, Peter Obi resigned from the African Democratic Congress on May 2, 2026, and was confirmed as the presidential candidate for the NDC on May 29, 2026.

Sani's list serves as a reminder that voters are vigilant and that unfulfilled promises can have political repercussions.
