Prof. Anthony Ani, a renowned academic, shared in a conversation with journalists that an additional factor behind his decision to contest the position was the increasing call from his constituents for him to represent them effectively in the Senate.

According to him, the Senate needs people who will stand for truth, who will lobby to get something for their people, because Nigeria is a country where you have to fight and struggle for your people, if you don’t struggle for your people others will take your people’s share. And that is why I have accepted to go and represent the zone”.
