Shehu Sani dumps PDP, defects to APC

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has officially welcomed Senator Shehu Sani and 49 other prominent politicians to the All Progressives Congress (APC), assuring them of equal rights and privileges within the party.

Speaking at a mega rally at Murtala Square on Saturday, Governor Sani emphasized that all APC members, regardless of when they joined, would be treated equally.

“Someone who joined APC today and the one who has been a foundation member 10 years ago, they are of the same status. They will enjoy the same rights and privileges,” he stated.

He urged the new members to inform their supporters that APC remains open to more defectors, attributing the party’s growing popularity to its leadership at both the state and federal levels.

Sani added that the party has come to stay in Kaduna State, the entire North and Nigeria as a whole.
‘’In the 2027 election, the electorate will vote for APC in all the elections, from top to bottom.
“At the top, our leader, President Bola Tinubu will be elected.

“At the state level, the party will be voted for at the gubernatorial, National and State Assemblies elections, by the Grace of God,’’ he said.

The Governor promised that more projects would be executed in all the nooks and crannies of the state, irrespective of party affiliations and ethno-religious considerations.

‘’Politics is different from governance. We will be fair to all, whether or not they voted for us, because that is the oath of office that we swore to uphold as leaders,’’ he further said.

Sani l, who argued that leaders were not infallible and they were bound to make mistakes like anyone, pleaded with the led to always point out their mistakes with a view to correcting them.

The governor reminded the APC faithful that the leaders would be held accountable in the hereafter regarding how they led the people whom God had entrusted on them.

Prominent amongst those who decamped to APC were; former Governor of the state, Alhaji Muktar Ramalan-Yero, Sen. Shehu Sani, Sen. Suleiman Hunkuyi, the gubernatorial candidate of NNPP in the 2023 General Elections and Alhaji Sani Sha’aban, also former gubernatorial candidate.
