The senator representing Kaduna Central; Shehu Sani, has issued a statement through his Special adviser, accusing Governor Nasir El-Rufai of plotting his reported rejection by the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairmen in his constituency.
Party chairpersons of six local governments in his constituency: Chikun, Birnin Gwari, Kajuru, Kaduna North, Kaduna South and Giwa LGs, met on Saturday and endorsed Uba Sani, a rival aspirant who also, is the political adviser to Governor El-Rufai, for the 2019 senatorial ticket.
Senator Sani accused the governor of sponsoring the rejection after having failed in his several moves to suspend him from the party. His statement read in part:
“The so-called rejection of Senator Shehu Sani by so-called six chairmen of APC is nothing but Governor Nasiru El-Rufai’s antics.
“After two and half year of failed attempt to suspend senator Sani or recall him, El-Rufai has stooped to organising fake party chairman and endorsing his political adviser called Uba Sani.
“It will interest the general public to know that El-Rufai is simply diverting the attention and shielding his political adviser who will be in court in February for organising thugs to invade the NUJ secretariat.
“He has endorsed himself for the governorship and now arranging an endorsement for his puppy and low-grade errand boy.
“He has clung unto President Buhari for his political oxygen and life.
“While Franco Nero plays fiddle while Rome was on Fire, El-Rufai is always in the Villa playing the Game of Throne while his state is overrun by kidnappers and herdsmen”.
He however, expressed confidence that the people of Kaduna Central constituency were solidly behind him.
