Unite or North will produce president in 2023, Sani warns South

The embattled senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has finally dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress.

The lawmaker has been having a running battle with his state governor, Nasir El’Rufai over his return ticket to the senate, and his criticisms of the state government.

After what can be described as a ding dong affair with the ruling APC, Senator Sani, resigned his membership of the partyl in a letter to the Tudun Wada ward, Kaduna chapter of the party on Saturday.

Senator Sani lost the the APC senatorial ticket for the 2019 election to an aide of Governor El-rufai, Malam Uba in a contentious primary in the state.

The Senator’s letter read in part: “I present to you my highest compliments and wish by this communication to formally offer to you my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I have joined the APC and remained with it against all odds in the belief that it will consider a veritable platform for the realization of those democratic idea which I hold very dear, that honour and integrity will be the ultimate ethos of the party and, most importantly, that internal party democracy will always be the norm.

“However, only posterity can affirm the extent to which the APC has committed to and reflected these values.

“As I exit the APC at this time, I wish to formally thank the party for availing me the platform upon which I am currently serving this country in the honoured capacity of Senator of the Federal Republic.”

The outspoken Senator however did not give a hint as to the political party he would be joining.

He was expected to have joined other Senators who left the APC in July for the PDP but in a surprising move, he was spotted amongst APC senators who visited President Muhammadu Buhari soon after the defections that rocked the ruling party.

The Senator afterwards said his DNA was not wired for the PDP.
