Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has warned Nigerians against taking campaign promises by politicians at face value, urging voters to scrutinise the records, motives and credibility of those seeking their votes ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sani, in a post on his Facebook page yesterday, listed 15 promises he said Nigerians should be wary of believing from what he described as “bourgeoisie politicians.”

His warning comes amid heightened political activities and realignments ahead of the 2027 elections, with political parties and presidential aspirants unveiling policy proposals and making fresh promises to voters.

Among the promises Sani urged Nigerians to scrutinise are claims by politicians that they would never defect from their political parties, serve only one term in office or restructure the country.

He also listed promises to favour particular ethnic or religious groups, avoid borrowing, reject dealings with the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and resist Western interests.
