Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has alleged that some 2023 presidential aspirants are only standing in for others.
Sani made the allegation in a Twitter post on Saturday where he stated that aspirants who have bought the nomination and expression of interest forms for the presidency but have refused to embark on consultations to solicit votes of state delegates are only standing in for other politicians.
He wrote: “Those who bought Presidential Forms and never visited the states to solicit for support are only standing in for someone.”
