Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial district in the 8th Assembly from 2015-2019, has defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Sani, who was elected a senator on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC), was unable to return to the senate in 2019 following an unresolved issue with serving Governor Nasir el-Rufai.
The wrangle between the duo stopped Sani from getting the party ticket, forcing him to defect to the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) under which he contested but lost.
The senator recently dumped the PRP but he did not state his new party.
It could be recalled that the former Senator had tendered his resignation from the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) with immediate effect in July 2021
Sani who joined the party in October 2018, made the announcement in a letter dated July 9, directed to the PRP chairman in ward six, Tudun Wada, Kaduna.
According to Daily Trust, confirming his defection, his close aide, Malam Suleiman Ahmed, said: “Yes, Distinguished Senator Shehu Sani has finally settled to join the PDP but official ceremony and reception will be in the next two weeks all things being equal.”
He said Sani confirmed his defection on Thursday, September 16, 2021, when he had a meeting with relevant PDP stakeholders in Kaduna.
