2019: Buhari Endorses Sen Shehu Sani For Senate

BY AMOS TAUNA, KADUNA – The All Progressives Congress (APC), Ward 6, Tudun Wada in Kaduna on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari has endorsed Senator Shehu Sani for the 2019 general polls.

The ward described the alleged suspension of the out-spoken Senator, who represents Kaduna Central senatorial district from the party, as a political gimmick.

A statement from the Chairman of APC Ward 6, Abbas Muhammad Anni, said, “The attention of the substantive APC Executives in Ward Six (6) Tudun Wada has been drawn to the new political gimmick issued by some stooges purporting to be reaffirming the so-called suspension of Senator Shehu Sani from the All Progressive Congress (APC).

“We are very much aware that this recent act of calumny and intimidation was sequel to President Muhammadu Buhari’s endorsement of Senator Shehu Sani candidacy for 2019 to the consternation of the ambitious aspirant in Kaduna State Government who engineered this purported suspension.

“This recent purported suspension is clearly part of the desperation of the ambitious demigod of Kaduna politics and his stooges to orchestrate confusion that would lead to the disrepute of the party and cause damage to its electoral fortunes in 2019.

“We are equally calling on both the National and State leadership of our great party to caution these saboteurs in accordance with the extant laws as enshrined in our Party’s Constitution,” the statement added.

The ward chairman noted, “Ordinarily, we would not have dignified these brainless characters with a response because it is common knowledge that the elephant footprint obliterates that of the camel. However, it becomes imperative to dispel this facade based on the request made by our teeming supporters across the Senatorial District.

“In this regard, the members of APC in Ward Six (6) and the general public are hereby notified to ignore in strong terms such blackmail and intimidation in the name of ‘suspension’ as it is completely with neither basis nor authority.

“Conversely, we wish to affirm our unflinching support and solidarity to Senator Shehu Sani for continuity in the forthcoming elections in 2019. For over three years that the senator has been in the Nigerian Senate.

“He has and still performing outstandingly in legislation and oversight function which has endeared him to the Nigerian public”, the statement said
