Senator Shehu Sani who said it was unfortunate for the State to have found itself in the situation despite the presence of military formations, blamed the state government for not providing the necessary assistance compare to other states.

On infrastructural development, Senator Sani faulted the concentration of development at the city centre at the expense of rural areas, explaining that the money being used was meant for the entire State and not the centre alone.

Agriculture, he said, would receive attention and not a window dressing where bags of maize were purchased from market and erected pyramids to deceive the public that an achievement had been recorded.
He also spoke of resuscitating the moribund industries in the Southern part of Kaduna metropolis which he accused the APC administration of unconcerned.
On his chances in the contest, Shehu Sani said he believes in himself and God and that whoever is endorsed by a political god-ather is a stooge
