Shehu Sani, the senator representing Kaduna Central, has kicked against the withdrawal of governorship candidates from the race days before the election.

Sani, on his Twitter page, suggested that strict sanctions should be placed on candidates withdrawing before the election.

He stated that this practice causes waste of resources as the candidates would have been placed on ballot papers, hence called for financial sanctions to be placed to prevent such.

The Kaduna lawmaker wrote: “The Practice of candidates for elective office withdrawing on the eve of an election after lots of resources have been spent to process their papers and include them in the ballot paper must end,or must attract reasonable financial sanctions to prevent such.”

This is coming on the heels of the withdrawal of Labour Party’s candidate, Issa Aremu from the Kwara governorship race on Thursday.
