Kaduna APC Suspends Senator Shehu Sani

The Tudun Wada ward of the All Progressives
Congress in Kaduna State, on Monday, suspended
the senator representing Kaduna Central
Senatorial zone, Shehu Sani, from the party.
The senator is a registered member of the party
from the ward.
In a letter to the senator dated December 27, the
party said the suspension is for a period of 11
months.
Mr. Sani was also banned from engaging in party
activities in Kaduna State during the period of
suspension.
The letter was signed by the Secretary of the
ward, Ahmed Abdulhamid, the Public Relations
Officer, Auwal Mai Anguwa, and ex-officio
member, Aminu Alilan.
The party listed Mr. Sani’s offences to include,
uttering statements that allegedly “violate the
rules of engagement of the party, factionalizing
the party, and engaging in anti-party activities by
criticizing the policies of Governor Nasir El-Rufai.”
“Hardly a week passes by that his group will not
be on air criticizing and challenging the enduring
legacies of Mallam Nasir ElRufai, that his
statement on national issues is not in conformity
with that of the state government and
government of Kaduna State,” the statement read.
The state chapter of the APC also said the
senator had chosen to remain in constant
confrontation with the government of Kaduna
State.
When contacted, an aide of Mr. Sani, Suleiman
Ahmed, said it was clear that those who wrote
the letter were ignorant of the laws guiding the
APC.
He said they were out to stop the senator from
voicing his views about what he considers the
anti-people policies of Governor El-Rufai’s
administration.
“They are toeing the line of the state secretariat
of the party,” Mr. Ahmed said. “So our reaction is
that those that wrote this letter are ignorant of
the party’s constitution and they are dancing to
the tune of the state executive of the party and
Governor Nasir El-Rufai.”
