BY SEGUN ADEBAYO, ABUJA – Senator Shehu Sani, who represents the Kaduna Central Zone on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday ended his romance with the party when he renounced his membership.
According to a resignation letter signed by the senator, “I present to you my highest compliments and wish by this communication to formally offer to you my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“l had joined the APC and remained with it against all odds in the belief that it will constitute a veritable platform for the realization of those democratic ideals which I hold very dear, that honor and integrity will be the ultimate ethos of the patty and, most importantly, that internal party democracy will always be the norm. However, only posterity can affirm the extent to which the APC has committed to and reflected these values.
“As I exit the APC at this point in time. I wish to formally thank the party for availing me the platform upon which I am currently serving this country in the honoured capacity of Senator of the Federal Republic.
“I wish the party well in all her future endeavors and ask sir, that you please accept the assurance of my highest considerations.”
Senator Sani and Governor Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai had been enmeshed in a supremacy battle over who picks the ticket of the party for next year’s polls. The governor who is favorably disposed to his political adviser, Uba Sani, has spared no efforts to ensure victory for his ally. The non-inclusion of Sani in the list of contestants submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by the party, according to a source, clearly shows that the senator has been forced to kiss the dust.
