Party Primaries: Senator Dumps APC
Shehu Sani, the senator representing Kaduna Central, has resigned his membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
His decision comes few days after the national body of the APC submitted the name of Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s political adviser, Uba Sani, as the candidate to replace Sani’s senatorial district.
There is a deep-rooted animosity between the Kaduna State governor and Sani which can be dated to 2015 after their inauguration.
In August, Sani alongside Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi was accused of working against the progress of the party and the state in connivance. The duo was consequently suspended by the Kaduna state chapter on the APC.
While Hunkuyi dumped the party to the People’s Democratic Party, Sani remained in APC.
