Senator representing Niger East, Dahiru Kuta, says he remains
unshakeable and cannot be intimated not to contest the 2015 election.
Kuta, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Character
Commission, while speaking with reporters on Sunday in Minna, Niger
State, said nobody was superior to him in the state in terms of politics.
He said, “Niger State belongs to all of us and I know that I cannot
be intimidated. I have seen everything in politics and by April 16 this
year, I will be 64 years, out of which I have spent 32 years in
politics. Of the 32 years, I have spent 25 years in the opposition. I
have always won my elections on the platform of opposition since 1982.
“So, I have seen a lot in life. I do not fear death, I do not fear
anybody but I respect people. I am not quarrelling with anybody but I am
saying that, I cannot be intimidated by anybody in this country not only Niger State.
“If my people say I should contest, I will and I will ask God. I have
said it time without number that, nobody is senior to me in politics in
Niger State. It is not possible for me to say ‘no’ when my people say
‘go’.
“As much as God gives me life, I will contest. I have never been
interested in governorship but whatever it is that I am contesting as a
Senator, my people are confidently behind me.”
