A former Senator and rights activist, Shehu Sanni has said it is not about winning election but how to rule the state and carry the people along after the election has been worn.
According to him, elections can be worn using any form of equation but what is more important is how the state will fare after that.
He said “If you have won election under a Muslim/Muslim ticket in Kaduna and then I as a Muslim from the Northern part of Kaduna, I cannot go to the Southern part of Kaduna and live with my family.
He stated that the state has been sharply divided and it is still being ruled, a typical example of what happened in South Africa.
Mr Sanni noted that the people in Kaduna state, the Muslims are not happy with what is happening in Plateau state as they have said Muslims in Plateau should be given an opportunity to produce either a speaker or a deputy governor.
Speaking on the forthcoming election in Kaduna, Mr Sanni said even if you think you have the capacity and the competence to deliver, you still have to understand the sensitivity of other people especially those who are not from your own part.
He added that Kaduna should not be used as a scale to recommend any Muslim-Muslim ticket to anybody.
He added that leaders who are elected to find themselves in position of authority have to prove that they can serve anybody, the community, society of your country.
