On Sunday, September 7, 2025, former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, took to X to comment on Russia’s recent claim of developing a cancer vaccine.
The senator described the development as potentially groundbreaking for patients grappling with a disease that has long resisted conventional medical treatments.
In his post, Sani highlighted the disparity in access to cancer care, noting that wealthier patients often travel abroad to countries such as Egypt, India, Dubai, the UK, or the United States for chemotherapy, with many tragically not surviving the journey.
He wrote on his X handle: “Russia has announced that it has now developed and produced a Cancer vaccine. That is a good news for patients who have been diagnosed with such a disease that has defied all known medical intervention. Many privileged cancer patients end up going to Egypt, India, Dubai, London or US for ‘chemotherapy’ and coming back home dead. The poor ones hustle with public and private hospitals. We hope and pray this news is real.”
