The Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Shehu
Sani has said that he and other aggrieved members of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, will quit the party if the identified
challenges were not resolved.
The Senator spoke to journalists, who paid him Sallah homage in
Kaduna yesterday, adding that he will be contesting the governorship of
the state, unless the Kaduna political stakeholders, which he is a
member, decided otherwise.
Sani said, “We condemned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the
past for not being fair and just to its members, but the APC has found
itself in similar, if not worst situation, as at today.”
Sani said himself and other party members “will not tolerate or
condone injustices”, noting that, “if solutions to the identified
challenges in the APC are not taken care of in the coming weeks, there
will be no going back on their decision to leave the party for good.”
He added, “There is a Kaduna political stakeholders, made up of
former governors, lawmakers and various party chieftains, and, as a team
player, I am a member. I am going to contest the governor of Kaduna
State, but, if the stakeholders insist on me going back to the senate, I
will have no objection, whatsoever.
“Nigerians are now more resolved and conscious to vote for people of
integrity who will work for them, hence, I have the confidence of
winning my election in whatever party I contest, because people will
vote individuals based on merit, and not party, in the 2019 general
elections.
“As it is today, over 25 registered political parties have come to us
to express solidarity and support, and I can confirm to you that
opposition from Kaduna State will come under an alliance of forces in
the coming elections.
“I want to make it clear that should I contest and become the
governor of Kaduna State, I will open the government house to the
masses.”
