Shehu Sani Dumps APC

The senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has left 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 for that senatorial district.

He disclosed this in a letter dated October 19 and addressed to the Chairman of the party, in ward 6, Tudun Wada North, Kaduna.

Although he did not give any specific reason for leaving and also did not state which party he would be defecting to, the decision may not be unconnected to the withdrawal of the automatic ticket given to him initially by the party’s National Working Committee.
